One rule that you forgot to mention....

The main rule in golf and most definetly the main focus of this thread is to HAVE FUN.

It makes the game more enjoyable for the player in question and playing partners as well. Personally, after the game I'd much rather talk about the good shots (and the bad) of the round, not where I should have placed my ball or which rule applies to what. Don't get me wrong, I know the rules as well..... but I'm sure that I speak for many viewers of this forum and the main reason why we play is to have fun.
