    The 2006 Golf Rules For Seniors

    I think that you have to be retired to be allowed to use these new rules.






    The 2006 golf rules for seniors:

    Rule 1

    A ball sliced or hooked into the rough shall be lifted and placed on the fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the rough with no penalty. The senior should not be penalized for uncontrollable mechanical phenomena.

    Rule 2.

    A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree.
    This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree and play the ball from there.

    Rule 3

    There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone else making it a stolen ball. The player is not to compound the felony by charging him or herself with a penalty.

    Rule 4

    If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The law of gravity supersedes the law of golf.

    Rule 5

    Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the hole. No one wants to make a travesty of the game.

    Rule 6

    There is no penalty for so-called "out of bounds." If penny-pinching golf club owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The golfer deserves an apology, not a penalty.

    Rule 7

    There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. That they do not is a technical problem that manufacturers have yet to overcome. Senior Golfers should not be punished for manufacturers shortcomings.

    Rule 8

    Advertisements proclaim that golf scores can be improved by purchasing new clubs, balls, shoes etc. Since this is financially impossible for the average Senior Golfer, 1/2 a stroke per hole may be subtracted for using old equipment.
    My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

    As I pride myself in always playing by the rules, AND am a senior golfer, I promise to abide by these rules this season.

    Anyone for:
    $200 - $400 - $200
    $100 for birdies
    $1.00 per yard

    I've seen you play BC, you don't need to follow these rules.

    Aren't you the comedian I might have turned 50 but the girls think I am 35, besides I am not retired. Tired yes, retired no One of my retired friends from Ford who golfs constantly sent me those new rules. I just thought I would pass them along, you know in case some guys were looking for an edge in a match against you
