Els Calls For Belly Putter Ban

May 22, 2004 Ernie Els has called for banning the belly putter. I agree. These things are an abomination. I also think that they are a violation of the rules of golf, which state:
The club must not be substantially different from the traditional and customary form and make.
There is nothing either traditional or customary about the belly putter.
