Penalize or disqualify them. The course staff aren't on the Committee. -

Totally agree. And we are doing that. The problem is that we have a set of members who do not want to follow the rules (simplifying) and our committee is being undermined by the course professionals. Curious about other's experience that might help us win this ongoing argument. -

This is a little like a debate in my club in which older players wanted free relief from steep banks for safety reasons. Instead of taking an unplayable lie, as is always an option. The debate was finally settled when someone pointed out that Sergio climbed a tree to hit his ball. It's up to the player to take the penalty if they don't want to play it as it lies. -

Uhhhh, yes. And for your tournaments, simply create your Committee and set the rules as you want them to be for the event(s). -

Wondering about other's experience with course administrators. Do they promote the rules of golf? Should we expect them to? Background: I belong to a golf club that organizes tournaments at a municipal course. Our club is trying to popularize and enforce the rules of golf in our events, but the golf course staff is not on the same page. For example, the course manager just sent an email to our club suggesting we should lift, clean, and place throughout the general area year round, citing allegedly terrible course conditions and lack of staff. The conditions are the same as the other public courses in our area. Also, the greenskeeper has refused to mark GUR or to allow our club volunteers to do it. Not sure why, i think because he believes it is unattractive. He suggested we create a local rule essentially allowing players to decide for themselves what is GUR. To me, this is not appropriate for administrators of a golf course. But perhaps financial concerns are more important than the rules?
