LOL

Just start calling him fluffer.

You know what a fluffer is, right? lol

Sometimes best to let sleeping dogs lie.. especially if you came from its nut sack.

He's right though...your attitude is one of the worst things about golf and what keeps a lot of people away. I don't have a rule book and don't really need one because I'm not playing in tourna

This isn't a rules discussion, it's a golf discussion about playing with people who intentionally cheat. Nobody asked you for help, but you're quick to jump in a snide remark to make sure these cheate

The worst way in the world to learn the rules is to learn by word of mouth.  Spend a couple of bucks and buy a rule book.

I didn't say I learned by word of mouth. I look up rules when I get home after I encounter something I've never messed with before. In this particular case, I had just never bothered looking it up.

It really doesn't matter for me, I don't keep an official handicap or play for money, and I follow the rules way more than anyone else I play with besides my wife. So I am fine with learning rules as I learn my swing, makes it more fun for me.

Just for your information, questions like that one are all in the open book part of the test on the Rules Workshop exam.  It's 100 questions, 50 closed book and 50 open book, and you get 4 hours to complete it.  Part of the testing process is demonstrating the ability to look up the right answer.   When working as a rules official we are not required, or even expected, to have the entire rules and decisions books memorized.

Yeah, that happens to me all the time,... If it lands on the green your aiming for, putt out, score and move on, if it ends up in ruff, take a free drop wherever ya want! Of course this rule only applies when playing with me!

When I took that quiz, it gave me questions that were almost entirely devoted to match play. I've never played match play before in my life, which makes me think they ought to add another option for match or stroke play rulings and penalties.

Well, you were right more than you were wrong......I'll give you that!

I'd recommend the basic tests.  The questions are a lot less esoteric and better reflect situations that you'll encounter in the course of your own rounds.  You should really be able to score 100% on those.

FWIW, I play around with the quizzes a couple of times a week, and probably only get 100% on them half the time..... My personal best is 3 perfect scores in a row.  Only once.

In David's bag....

Driver: Titleist 910 D-3;  9.5* Diamana Kai'li
3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li
Hybrids: Titleist 910H 19* and 21* Diamana Kai'li
Irons: Titleist 695cb 5-Pw
Wedges: Scratch 51-11 TNC grind, Vokey SM-5's;  56-14 F grind and 60-11 K grind
Putter: Scotty Cameron Kombi S
Ball: ProV1

Most of these don't apply to me at all. A lot of match play (which I'm surprisingly getting right) and caddie stuff. Also questions about breaking things. lol

Getting at least 7/10 every time though.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
