Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary!

I'll buy!

ROTFL!!!

Thank you RulesMan, I have nothing but respect for you. In hindsight, I was being very thin skinned, and I apologize for not taking your post in the spirit you intended. May I please have a mulligan? Kevin

That would be fine. Golf professionals live at the golf course in order to cater to golfers just like those on these websites. We work very long hours because we love it, and I don't feel we need to be ashamed of spending "90% of our time minding the store" as another posted and deleted. I don't care to post where I am thought of as irrelevant because of my profession. For the record, I don't believe the PGA or the PGA Tour needs a larger role in the rules. Too much chance of making decisions from a business standpoint. I think the rules are too pure for that to happen, and would leave the rules makers wide open for criticism whether $$$ came into play or not. Thank you,

Please let me know your handle on other forums so I can start avoiding you...

I always appreciate your posts. I wasn't aware of that decision (20-2c/0.8) and very happy to have learned from you again today! Kevin

I can't afford an attorney, so I fixed it. ROTFL Cheers!

I bought the hardcover version this summer, thanks for the reminder. This thread is giving me the push I need to find the time to read it... Kevin

Looks like we just posted on top of each other David. I like your detailed explanation. Cheers!

27/16 Ball Declared Lost Is Found Before Another Ball Put into Play Q. A player searched for his ball for two minutes, declared it lost and started back to play another ball at the spot from which the original ball was played. Before he put another ball into play, his original ball was found within the five-minute period allowed for search. What is the ruling? A. A player cannot render a ball lost by a declaration - see Definition of "Lost Ball." The original ball remained in play - see Definition of "Ball in Play."

LOL It has to be a joke. Fourputt, calm down, your going to have a heart attack!!!

...and actually, it's gotten worse. Am I the only one who thinks it may be a bad joke? Nobody could be this far off on legitimate answers, could they?

LOL Nope, the hits just keep coming. You're going to be busy again when you get back...

Too funny!!! LOL

Oh my gosh. You really need to quit posting answers, rules man can't keep up, and may give up...

Rulesman, clean up needed on isle 7! LOL

The answers take Mario's video from good to great. Thanks very much for posting them. I learned stuff!

24/5 Boundary Stakes Having No Significance in Play of Hole Being Played Q. White stakes installed between the 7th and 8th holes define out of bounds during play of the 7th hole, but they have no significance during play of the 8th hole. Are such stakes obstructions during play of the 8th hole? A. No, the Definition of "Out of Bounds" states that such stakes are not obstructions. However, in this case it is recommended that, by Local Rule, the stakes be deemed immovable obstructions during play of the 8th hole.

Somerset Country Club in St. Paul Minnesota. One of my favorite courses anywhere. Somerset has both Redan (#4) and Biarritz (#12) design par 3's. Awesome course! Kevin

That has to be some kind of record for the longest round in history!

Debate for the sake of debate. A question was asked and answered from more than one viewpoint. Just follow the culture of the course you're playing...

No See the decision referenced in post #5. 20-3d/2.
