I read Golf is not a game of perfect and let me tell you I loved it. It was absolutely perfect for me, because at the time before I read it I was standing over the ball for like 10 seconds thinking all sorts of shit before I hit. Now theres none of that. Just stare at my target, focus and swing. The sad thing is Ive only played one round since I read the book and that was two weeks ago. Drained a 45 foot putt and another 30 foot putt, also saved par with a twelve footer. Really getting into a nice routine also at the range. For those of you who havent read this book, go and get it, you cant go wrong. And I paid 1.35 cents for it on Amazon.com used.

Here's a quick funny story about one of his audio books. I was on a trip about 8 yrs ago to Tennessee and we had the cassette in the player listening to it. He was talking about a tour pro who heard the crowd say ahh before he even struck his putt. We get there and my buddy misses every putt he looks at and as we are leaving he takes the tape out and tosses it down the freeway.

That's what has amazed me so far is that I have made some shots that truly have suprised me after listening to the audio books. These are shots that I have never made before, and now they are happeneing more frequently. Now if I could just get the regular parts of the game to align then maybe I could start lowering my scores

Yeah. I've hit shots - approach shots and putts - that I had no business hitting/making after these books. It's total confidence, because I now know I'm capable of hitting those shots.

Which reminds me: "The Golf of Your Dreams" just came in. That's tonight's bedtime reading.

    • You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. Oh, so your league is full of cheaters and I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up?
    • When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.
    • Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.
    • 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.
