so no point in regroving your clubs with a cutter.
my back is a lot better and have joined a new golf club and shot 4 over for the back 9 on friday so feel i am playing better and only used the driver twice on the back 9 and drove with the 1 iron 5 times.
the picture im using is of the 12 short hole at my new club.
nice to hear from you,
keep up the great posts.

That's right Bill, well unless anyone has some convincing evidence to the contrary.
Glad to hear of the improvements with the back and game. You were at Muscleburgh club before I think?
EDIT:
Well, grooves don't do anything in the sand as you are merely throwing a wedge of sand out with a ball sitting on it. It is also not clear what if any effect the roughness of the clubface has when grass is trapped between the ball and striking area. We know that it can produce a flyer due to the slippery grass juice sliding the ball off the face faster thus reducing spin, there is no current evidence that grooves reduce it though. There main effect would be to channel away large amounts of water falling on the face.
