Just thought I would introduce myself.

I am in my mid 30's and have been golfing probably 30 years of that. I was really passionate about it up through HS and was close to a scratch player back then. I have never had a lesson of any sort really, pretty much learned how to play from reading golf digest.

I started to play less and less after that and started to become frustrated about my scores and more or less quit for a few years. I just didn't enjoy it anymore, I would play maybe 2-3 times a year and still expect to shoot par, which of course didn't happen.

I think I am "past" that now and am starting to just enjoy being on a course no matter how I play. I haven't carried a handicap since HS, and will shoot anywhere from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. Depending on how much I am playing.

I am not a club collector, I have had probably 10 drivers, 2 total sets of irons and maybe 3 putters total in the last 30 years. I tend to find something I like and keep playing them. I am not a huge follower of the "buy a better game" mentality obviously. Of course winning the lottery could change all that.

I spent 23 years in the Marshall area so pretty much every course in SW MN. Moved from there to Mankato, played most courses in that area, now am in Belle Plaine so trying to play my way through the cities' courses. Haven't done many yet, Valley View, Highland, Keller, Chaska town course, Dakotah Ridge, Kilkarny SP? in Wisconsin, etc.

      Local Rule Mlr E5-5 in Comps - Thoughts?

      By Stryper ·

      Obviously everyone takes things very literally here  my apologies. Two club lengths and back on the angle perpendicular to the green and where the ball was assumed to have crossed when it went OOB or was lost.  To a hacker like me anything on the short stuff is “middle of the fairway”.     It also seemed that it would favour a big hitter who has gone OOB as they don’t have the risk of hitting a drive into OOB twice in a row if they are allowed to take that rule. But the rule is the rule. I’ll approach the club and see what their take on it is. Strange that when this guy brought this rule up the others had not heard of it. It makes a lot of sense to me.

      The decision to use the MLR is the player's alone. He has the choice regardless of what others may think.  If he finds the original - all ok. If he doesn't, he follows the procedure with a 2 stroke penalty. But he doesn't "play from the middle of the fairway".

      Another tournament prize for me yesterday.  Not played golf for a year and two weeks back played a tournament.  Horribly inconsistent round.  Post that didn't touch my clubs before playing another tournament yesterday.  Fairly decent round with the exception of 3 triple bogeys, 2 of which were OB.  The other was just bad shots and decisions.  Still finished 16 over and was runner up in the gross stableford event with 22 points.  The winner had 23 points
