Psychosomatic? Perspective differences? Dunno. Contacts today, much less toe contact. Maybe it's the heat + glasses. Anyone experience anything like this?

Sometimes in the past I've noticed that glasses or contacts can make me feel distances slightly differently. That might just be it.

I wear contacts only for golf and on the odd occasion I do play in glasses I can't say I have noticed any marked difference.

Yeah, if I play tennis with glasses, I whiff at the beginning. Definitely a perspective difference. I have a slight astigmatism. Maybe that's it.

I don't wear my prescription glasses (slight nearsightedness) or my sunglasses when I hit the ball. I would probably be fine with either, it's more of a mental thing at this point.

I suffer from the opposite.  I seldom wear my contacts.  As a result, it takes my brain longer to adjust to the different levels of depth perception so it throws me off when doing anything that requires eye to hand coordination.  If I have them in all day, it isn't so bad, but usually I will take them out for both golf and baseball.  I wore the contacts for golf two weeks ago, but put them in about 30 minutes before teeing off, so I did not have time to adjust properly.  I hit everything, and I mean everything, fat.  I never saw so many beaver pelts flying in the air before, ha ha.

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
