And They're attracting a lot of attention at private and public golf
courses.))

((120 golfers are competing in the N-C-Double-A East Regional at the Cascades
course in Hot Springs.
That much traffic on the greens makes them pretty rough for the afternoon
rounds.
The purpose of the soft Spike rule is to keep the greens as smooth in the
afternoon as they are in the morning rounds.))
