OK, so you're both ignorant of the rules, AND you don't know how to click on a link the the USGA website, where the book is only $1.50.

Well actually you can just go to the USGA website and print all that stuff out for free.

Although getting the book from the USGA would probably be a bit more tidy.

Just goes to show how far you are willing to try, you didn't even check if the USGA had the resources you need. It's common sense you would see price gouging on Amazon or Ebay. 

To me, its more like you went searching for another negative against the USGA and are not even trying to have a discussion or learning experience in good faith.

I could not actually bring myself to go the USGA site! I might catch something, where’s my mask? Does sanitizer work online?

That’s LOL! Of course!

Taking relief from a cart path?

I don’t think I have to mark the nearest point of relief with a tee and mark out one club length with another tee, then drop between them, it just says drop within one club of the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole.

Is that right?

If you wonder why we think you’re trolling, crap like this is one of the reasons.

I never said the rules are unfair or wrong or bad, I just don’t understand them and nobody else does either?

It takes a while to understand the rules. When you first start some of the rules may not make sense. Learn them. You may also find ways to use them to help you.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
