For some reason a comment about how soft the greens were at Augusta in November popped into my head and while I don't have a strong opinion on the idea I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss. Obviously the majors were not "normal" but everyone played under those conditions so seems like a lot of room for personal philosophy on the practice.

Personally, I do not asterisk them. 

Obviously, things were different. But I give the powers that be all the credit in the world for just getting them in. 

The obvious exception is The British Open.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Being that every player has the same conditions I don’t think an asterisk is necessary or even valid really. It does however make sense to indicate the tournament didn’t happen at the normal time and that the crowds were non-existent or minimal.

I asterisk the scoring record at Augusta National.

I don't asterisk any of the winners, or the events themselves.

      Congrats! Day 551, May 6, 2024 Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY hitting irons only and playing the white tees. No really "bad" shots, and a few really, really good ones. Finished on nine (they send us off 10 in May) with… a 197-yard 5I uphill and an 84-yard sand wedge to three feet.

      Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"

      @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.

      Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
