Well on a more humorous note my friend called today at lunch and after some light hearted picking at him yesterday while we were all watching football his wife went out and bought him a huge package of sharpies in a variety of colors and dropped it off to him at work this morning alone with a dozen balls. I think the problem is solved.

funny little story about playing the ball as it lies...last week i take a buddy of mine to my club for his 50th, he plays 3 or 4 rounds a year max but he is actually not terrible, he really should play more. so we are on the T with 2 other regulars of mine and my buddy wants to play me heads up in addition to the team, we haggle a bit since he doesn't have an index number and agree to a shot per hole - but not the par 3's. fair enough lets play.

first t box he is left in thick rough, i am down the middle - we get to his ball about 145 out, the lie is poor, there is a tree just in front of him that kind of overhangs, he has to get over the stream in front. it is not good obviously a punch out. He looks at me and says, "you play the ball down right"  i say "yes", he says "I don't" picks his ball up moves it 2 steps to the right, drops it down, rolls it over to make it pretty and says "what is the yardage again? "

LOL it was all i could not bust up laughing! we still had a great round with one of us following the rules!!

    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
