wasnt trying to imply that you take life to seriously, sorry if it came off that way. I dont consider it lying to myself though either, seeing as i dont get paid to play i dont try to be hard on myself out on the course. I just go out there and have a good time. I dont plan on making a career out of the game, and at the end of the day if i hit an ace on a par 3 or a birdie it wont change me as an individual. But everyone plays differently, i allow my friends to take mulligans too. But i do agree during tournament play, the rules need to be followed.
