New Rules for Seniors
Girlfriend out of all people sent me this:
RCGA Changes in Golf Rules for Senior Golfers Aged 55+ > >
Rule 1.a.5
> 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 player should not be penalized for tall grass which ground keepers failed to mow.
>
> Rule 2.d.6 (B)
> 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 senior 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.B.3(G)
> 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, thereby making it a stolen ball. The senior player is not to compound the felony by charging himself with a penalty.
>
> Rule 4.C.7(H)
> If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The Law of Gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf.
>
> Rule 5.
> Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does however not apply to balls more than three inches from the Hole. No one wants to make a mockery of the game.
>
> Rule 6.a.9(K)
> There is no penalty for so-called "out of bounds." If penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The senior player deserves an apology, not a penalty.
>
> Rule 7..G.15(Z)
> There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. Senior players should not be penalized for any shortcomings of the manufacturers.
>
> Rule 8.K.9( S)
>
> Advertisements claim that golf scores can be improved by purchasing new golf equipment. Since this is financially impractical for many senior players, one-half stroke per hole may be subtracted for using old equipment.
>
> Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes and keep multiple copies in your golf bag. Those not following the rules need to be provided a copy. Golf is a game of integrity.

Finally... I might be able to cut 1 or 2 strokes per round!!
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
