This is a true statement. I really don't mind if somebody doesn't know the rules. (And honestly, if it isn't league play or tournament play, do what ever you want. As somebody said earlier everyone loves a vanity capper come tournament time.) During the tournaments I've played in my life pretty much every tournament there comes a time during the days you are out there when we have to have a discussion about a rule. Sometimes we call it in. Sometimes we look it up on our phone. Sometimes we just play two balls in and then get with the tournament director before signing the card and try to get it right. That happens and it's fine. The tournaments I play almost never have a rules official nearby. But, I don't think that's what we are talking about here. I think in this instance we are talking about a situation where everyone knows the rule, but some choose not to play the rule because they don't like the rule. When ever you have to justify your score with an If/Then statement, you're almost always in the wrong. Examples: "If I would have missed to the left and not to the right, then I would have only had a one stroke penalty." , "If I would have found my ball which I know is in the fairway, then I wouldn't have had any penalty at all." , Or "If there was just a way to get across that stream right there I could play my ball, then I wouldn't have to take a penalty." (That last one was actually said by a guy I was playing against as a justification for a ball he thought he shouldn't have to take a penalty stroke for hitting.) Once more, if you are just farting around on the course, then play by what ever rules your ego demands. I, personally, think its a mistake and you are lying to yourself, but to each his own. If you are playing a tournament, or in a league and you know the rule, you should play by the rule. You owe it to the others playing in the tournament, and to yourself and to your handicap to follow the rules. -

Day 325; mirror work. Worked on improving the grip as well as some feels for the downswing. -
I'm more talking about maintenance schedules. There are fertile times in the year where our rough probably grows close to an inch a day. It is pretty easy to find your golf ball in 2" rough. It becomes a little more questionable to find it in 4" + rough. One guy at our course typically is on the rough mower and is able to make it through the course in maybe 2 1/2 days. If I catch a spot where he hasn't mowed it in 2 1/2 days, it is going to be tricker to find my ball.
