Welcome Tim.

>the USGA may never have a significant challenger

I wouldn't be too sure of this. I suspect the NGHA are actively seeking recognition from the regional Golf Associations. And I am sure they will obtain advertizing revenue to support their operations if they recruit enough 'members' (site hits). The USGA, because of their protective attitude, are creating the opportunity for competition. If they embraced the technology, perhaps in co-operation with somebody like NGHA, they would effectively squash any future competition.
This would be in the interests of the game, golfers and USGA members.
Not to mention the time and dollars spent on ridiculous litigation trying to protect information that has been public knowledge for some time.
What do they plan to do? Demand that all member clubs remove slope and rating info from their scorecards to prevent misuse?
I am sure their position WILL change. But will it change before there are viable alternatives? Time will tell.
Sincerely,
Duncan Mackenzie
