Why say long? He had unplayable. Then not part of course intereferred. Then cart path. There were about a dozen rules involved there.
He walked away with a bogey, up and down from the cart path. That’s why they’re pros. And if he fucks it up he’s disqualified when he turns his card in. |

Quoted: Range Nazis here. I am digging this. View Quote You try playing by the book and see how much your score goes up. I’ve read the weekend golfer should add about 40 strokes to their game if they played by the book. They commit 2-3 penalties per hole. I started playing by the book 15 years ago. It changes how you play the game, they way it should be played. |

I can see the Goodyear blimp that’s over the course from the Target my wife & granddaughter are shopping in. I’m waiting in the car. Traffic in that part of Tulsa is crazy.

Quoted: This. I'm always amused by people who say they shoot 80 but when asked how many balls did they lose or hit out of bounds, the answer is always 5-6. Playing by the rules and playing the ball as it lies can easily add a couple of dozen strokes or more to the score of a weekender.

Any comment about my ball in sand, pinned against rake, rake mostly out of trap? I argued rake wasn’t part of trap, hence I drop penalty free, no closer to hole. I think I cheated. There was no money involved, just buddies arguing rules. |

Match play against a fellow broker. I won sixteen to go one up. He pressed, and I won seventeen. Pressed again on eighteen. Par four, slight dogleg right. I faded my tee ball a little and ended up about a foot in the lateral water hazard. Thing was, it had been raining a lot the days before and the water I was in was about three feet on the fairway side of the hazard (Red) margin. Since I wasn’t in the boundary of the hazard, I was in casual water, therefor, entitled to a free drop. He went ballistic and said I was in the hazard. Made par, as did he, and won the match. We went to the pro shop to get a ruling. Head pro says, “Casual water, free drop.” The head pro, was M. G. Orender. A few years before he became President of the PGA. The second was a stroke play match against a Broker/Dealer. The ninth was a par five. I was on in two, but 35’ above the hole with a double break. When we got to the green, there was a Boxer (dog) sitting on the apron. Kind of weird but the course had houses along the sides of the holes. I hit my putt so bad and firm, it was going to go off the green. I’d be lucky to make par. As it went by the hole at Mach, the Boxer ran across the green, grabbed my ball and took off with it. The B/D shouted gleefully that it was a two shot penalty. I laughed, and said it was “outside influence”, and I get to replay the shot. I made the 35’ eagle putt on the replay. At the turn, the pro said, “Outside influence. Replay the putt.” My fellow competitor was so shook up, he never recovered. Beat him by seven. |

Nope. I always left the rake on the outside of the bunker. Laying perpendicular to the approach to help keep someone else’s ball from going in. Unless the rough was high. Then I’d throw it about ten feet away so the ball would go in the beach. Easier shot.

I like playing golf. But I am under zero delusions that I am remotely good or even mediocre. I only do it to get outside and have fun with my buddies and act like a kid laughing. I won't play with folks who get too wound up. Even playing by my own rules I still routine stay a few dozen strokes above par and IDGAF. I have fun.
I will amend my wound up rules for people who throw clubs. I will play with those fucktards for my own amusement. |

Quoted: So I didn't cheat? View Quote For you players, I've got a rules question that I've never gotten a good answer to. Years ago in a local two-man tournament, two teams were tied and headed out to a playoff. Team 1 makes par on the first hole. Player 1 on team 2 makes bogey so he is done. His playing partner (player 2) has a thirty foot putt for birdie so player 1 tends the flag for him (no caddies). Player 2 then hits a perfect putt and as it is approaching the hole, player 1 pulls the flag out of the hole at a very slight angle taking the cup liner with the flag and raising the cup one inch above the ground. The putt hits dead center on the cup liner at perfect speed and stops right there. Arguments ensued and even the rules official had never seen anything like it. The putt never went in so it can't be a birdie for the win but does team 2 incur a penalty and lose the tournament? I still don't know. |
