I LOVE guys that do that!

Then, I bet them as big as they want, play in their group and "help" them count/recount their score every hole! (you know, cause I have a vested interest)

It's like shooting fish in barrel!

Hahaha, no, cuz if I did they'd never hear the end of it. I have a close knit group of friends, and were good at keeping the truth in check, because we torment the heart and soul out of eachother on things like this.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

It's funny to me how in my situation the reverse psychology has my golf partners asking me to card lower than I really shot. I work to keep my true score, but everyone around me gives me hell about it because they don't. When my honest score is a 9 or 11, they don't want to hear it, because they just shot a 7 or 8 themselves and they don't want to card it. I always end up keeping my 'true score' on a separate scorecard, and they put me down for par +3, double-par, or whatever they can live with in their own seared consciences. funny.

I have tried to work my pop to stop taking ANY mulligans. When I play I keep my score as honest as possible w no mulligans so I can gauge where I am and focus harder. When I know I have a spare drive inthe bag, I wont concentrate.

If I have a 50+ front nine and it continues to go south on the back nine, I tend to stop tracking the score, but turn it into a practice round, I dont need to know I scored a 109! My best round is under 90 9 strokes under my 2nd best! Playing that round with a mulligan would make me feel cheap! My dad tends to use a mulligan once a round, which can be annoying when I play my 50 yard drive on a par 5. We have a regular 4some that will all take 1 mulligan if we dont have warm up range time before the 18 kinda like a practice swing off the tee,, we all use it by the 3rd hole! warmup swings really help.

Not that I'm aware, but my friend has a friend that does. If he has a shot go less then 10 yards, he doesn't count it, a putt lip out, it was good, a stubbed chip, doesn't count....

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

    • No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??
    • They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.
    • It's not dumb. It's dumb to randomly allow a free drop that provides an advantage you don't deserve. And your committee had the option of determining it GUR. Did you talk to them?
    • A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.
