I agree with what you are saying, however If I do not know the marker, I do not know if he is an idiot or not.......Most markers do not investigate/question for fear of conflict. Most players avoid conflict as it brings the whole group down.......So, sometimes it just pays to just hit it as it lies....That is what I am trying to say..........

very righteous response................

Are you for real? Can You read? Who said the marker is an ignoramus? Who said you don't play by the rules? You need to get out of the house more

you have missed the point.......... It is not about knowing or not knowing the rules.................

Touche .....

I understand with what you are saying and I do not disagree, however, we have over a thousand members at the course I play and once a bit of mud sticks (pun) it sticks for ever and a day. Look, golf is a funny game, if you went five for five in baseball everybody would be slapping your back, shot par with a 15 handicap and eyebrows will be raised.......

Look I will spell it out...............The marker would assume you are CHEATING ......I have had played many rounds with markers that I do not know, if we were playing the first hole and he saw my ball on a tee........Well? What would you think? Do you understand where I am coming from.? That is why I am saying Not recommended. Perception.

yes...............................I am talking about preferred lies...............Playing off discarded tees, playing preferred lies...............

I Myself, being the marker, I am not verbally recommending anything..........It is a self recommendation. , With a club in my hand, will I or won't I..........No body is around and I landed next to a one inch tee. I will put the ball on the tee and use my driver...............Marker looking from one hundred yards thinks, what he up to? Gee you might be lucky, maybe too lucky............................long run not worth it..........

My opinion was not to go down the avenue of placing the ball on a discarded tee, even if the rule allows it. .This was the point I was trying to make.

Dropped is not placed.

By me......This is my personal opinion..........It is not recommended ............

Well........... If you truly believe what you are saying, good luck to you.....However ....The Local Rule should read "place it on a spot" Spot meaning ''a spot on the fairway".....If the ball was placed on a tee,(fortunate or not) and I happened to turn as you hit the ball, and a tee just happens to fly in the air , what do you think my response would be ?..........As I said "not recommended" Well..........................I would assume it fell out of your pocket and .......Well,........ "not recommended" Well.........., what else have you been up to with my back turned. ...............Well........ "Not Recommended"........No,..It does not bother me, unless I had your scorecard in my pocket..

This is drawing a very long bow ?................Not recommended ...............

Nothing better for hitting out of thick kikuyu grass /ordinary lies in the ruff, my trusty 25 degree Top Flight 7 wood. Don't leave home without it.

Watching the replay now........Tiger seems to be reading the greens easy enough.......I just heard the commentator "The harder this gets the fewer players can win" . Survival of the fittest .Tiger will be a big show.

Sorry, they are doing 9 hole scores.....................

Shorty, 23 rd Jan 2014, Australia is going to the Slope/Handicapping Social rounds US system >>>>>>>>You will be able to see the DIY Handicappers close up./////// It will make for some interesting posts/

Grab a drink/snack if done without holding up those behind OK Have a sit down lunch, you have just forfeited your place in the field ............. Waiting behind 10 groups on the 10th hole seems extreme. 9 hole course ?

Too many length bullies. Be comfortable with your length. Length is not important...........woops of topic

No no no.............You are changing the FACT..............Fact is, a two on a par 5................Be sure next time you play from the ladies tee's , we are kept up to date with your progress.

You sir are a tosser.............

Well said.

No one behind you? Where is this course, Fantasy Island?

Five guys hitting a second ball ?, yes, your group may flow smoother, however, I pity all the groups behind you.
