As some of you know, I recently got a SeeMore SB-1 bellyputter. I couldn't get exactly the length I wanted without going through their custom shop, waiting for shipment/assembly etc, so I got a 43" from a pro shop here in Sweden and just have to lengthen it to 45" which is what I want. I asked the pro at the tournament I'm at if he could help me and he told me that it wouldn't be legal to just stick a plug in it and put part of another grip on top. I looked something like :bulgy-eyes::bulgy-eyes: and later double-checked it with my mother, who is a referee.
Apparently you CAN have two grips...if they're both circular. But the grip on my putter is rounded with a flat top (ie where your thumbs go). So according to the rules I can't just plug on 2 inches, even if it's a similar looking grip, because I'd be in violation of The Rules(tm). I also have to have a 1.5 inch gap between the two grips, for some reason. So my only option now is to remove the grip, stick in the plug and put on a new grip.
This. Does. Not. Make. Any. Sense. To. Me. I also wanted to curse but I shall refrain.
