Obama Presses USGA for Major Changes
3/17/2009 2:21:30 PM
THE USGA WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL GOLFERS
There is a possibility of MAJOR rule changes to the game of golf. This may occur sometime after March 20, 2009.
(Administration of change)
This is only a preview, as the complete rulebook is being written now. Here are a couple of basic changes.
Golfers with handicaps:
- below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%.
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees.
- above 18 will play for free and even get a check from the club/course played.
The $ amount put in for bets will be as follows:
-for handicaps below 10 an additional $10.
-between 11 and 18, no additional amount.
-above 18 you will receive the total amount in the pot and you do not even have to play.
The term "gimme" putt will be changed to "entitlement" and will be used as follows:
-handicaps below 10, no entitlements.
-handicaps above 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts.
-handicaps above 18, if on green, no need to ever putt, just pick it up.
These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness in scoring, so that the final scores of all players will be about the same.
In addition, a player will be limited to a max of one birdie and/or six pars. Any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or par from the player making the birdie or par, can that player begin to count his score again.
The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes, but the term 'net score' will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps 18 and above. This is intended to 'redistribute' the success of winning, by making sure that in every competition the above 18 handicap players will post only 'net score' against every other player's 'gross score'.
These new Rules are INTENDED to CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be about FAIRNESS only. It should have nothing to do with ABILITY..

But only enough times to render a new handicap - if you work at all, or have any natural skill, you'll join the payers.
Don't hate the game, hate the socialist turd in the oval office!

Oh no. I've been golfing for decades. Trust me, I'll never make it to paying status.
A man got to know his limitations. My limitation usually starts with a twelve pack of beer...........
