After each hole just get your card out and say "7, right?" If they say it was a 5, just go "One into the trees, two into the hazard, Penalty, four onto the green, 3 putts, 7. etc."

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Yeah, I tend not to get into the skins in our league because people fluff up their ball and us preferred lies all the time... I mean I could do that too, but I play by the rules because I use the scores for handicap purposes. Sometimes it's so blatant it throws me off my game, especially if they try to argue about what I should do instead of playing by the rules. They keep trying to get me to take drops for OB, move my ball if it's in a bad spot etc....

The group I play with all the time are all "hard-core" by the rules guys. We just play for fun but we call it the "JUNK TOUR", everyone is honest and we all go by the rules to the best of our knowledge and ability. What would this great game be without the rules....., just another game.

However, the other day one of our regular guys brought along his brother-in-law and we caught him moving his ball from an impossible lie, mysteriously finding his ball in bounds with his mark on it a few seconds before I found his ball out of bounds with his mark on it and he had the nerve to say someone must use the same mark, (this was his first time at our home course). Needless to say all the guys gave him such a hard time I don't expect him back.

God Bless!!! Ray

We play a game that has skins/ pins/ teams, $15 buy in, that  plays "fluff it everywhere / putt out everything". It's at a muni without great turf and it works out well.  We get thirty-some guys on the weekend. It would cause a lot of drama to play the ball down.

We did kick out a guy for dropping his towel over his ball and dropping his ball mark inside the proxy marker, but what can you do.

I actually encourage cheating/making the game easier if the person is not a very good golfer... It helps speed up the game.

Playing for money? That would be different... If the person was good enough that it would matter. One guy I used to play in a skins game with, we gave him a stroke a hole and let him give himself good lies and not have to take strokes on lost balls. I think over two years, he maybe took one or two skins the entire duration.

This is pretty much where my bruv and I are at.

We try to play as close to the rules as possible. No mulligans, no messing with the lie and counting all the penalty strokes. But, we aren't that good, so we liberalize drops a bit to keep up pace. We also never go backward if we find out late that we went OB.

    • I was once told by a CRNA to never get the shots around any joint. They are band aids as mentioned about and he stated they will actually deteriorate the joint. I am no doctor obviously, just relaying what I was told when I was having knee trouble.
    • Yes I agree with everything you've said, before the first injection I couldn't lift my arm without pain and then shortly after the injection and a couple weeks of pt the pain was gone and still is so I'm just hoping I may get lucky twice sort-of like lightning and the same spot chances but we'll see. It's just I haven't been able to swing a golf club with a backswing more than waist high and that just won't do at all I'm only 58 and have been a single digit index for well over half my life so far and having my swing speed cut below 80 or more is something I'm just not quite ready for, I don't mean to offend anyone It's just I'm not ready for that yet I know we all get older and the body loses strength and flexibility I just think I still got a good chunk left.
    • Day 14.  Trying to stop that pull hook. This may take a while and I had limited success today. With courses here opening soon I then spent some time practicing short game distances inside 100y. 
    • Thanks everyone. An ace is luck. Eagle takes more skill. Now back to your regular scheduled programming.    Wordle 1,014 4/6 ⬜🟨🟩⬜🟨 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
