Like to See a Tournament According to the Old Rules

[sixiron]

I would like to see a golf tournament based on tradition, the ancient and accepted rules of Golf!

Oldest rules of Golf!

Play the course as you find it!

NEVER touch anything!

Play the ball where it lies!

Period!

Unplayable ball:

A player always has the ability to declare his ball unplayable and must return to the tee and start over counting all stokes made.

Don’t spout your modernist non-sense that “rules of golf permit it!

The PGA & the USGA’s modern, namby  pamby “rules of golf” constantly violate tradition and the oldest rules of Golf!

Man up! Man law!

Play the game the way it was meant to be played, the usga will have us all wearing panties if this keeps up!

No relief:

No marking and raising:

No cleaning:

No obstructions:

Never allowed to put into a flagstick:

No repairs to the course:

No practicing after teed up:

No lining up the ball between you and the hole:

No special situations or local rules: (preferred tees etc.)

Just a game, it’s meant to be fun, I’ve played the modern way and found it to be a giant migraine headache, no fun at all, I think the USGA exists only to Take all the fun out of the game of golf!

Remember just my preferences and opinions that boogylicious asked for!

There is no direct competition in golf:

Regardless of how the commentators spin it, even in a playoff, each player is playing against the course not each other.

I wouldn’t.

And those aren’t even the oldest rules.

Heck, even the original 13 rules had you touching the ball on a few occasions while playing a hole.

What are the 13 original Rules of Golf? (And how do they compare to today's?)

The 13 Articles, first published in 1744, laid the framework for the game we all play. But how do they...

And we are allowed to question and poke holes in your preferences and opinions.

How do you figure? In a playoff isn't it quite literally one player competing against another? If you mean that it's not direct competition in that one player can't play defense/stop another player from scoring then sure, but in a 1v1 playoff it's quite literally one player against another player and the lowest score win, even if neither player can directly defend the other player from scoring.
