Unless you have a measuring tape handy, you might be unsure which side of a path for example is actually the nearest point. When you factor in where your feet go, etc. Also you get some situations where it's difficult to identify the nearest point that isn't nearer the hole.
seen a few cyclists with them and some school boys.Kid at work has one,he’s 25
Seen a few about.
Maybe it’s a Barnsley thing,we’re abit behind the times
Watch a few of the pro decisions.. some are dubious but accepted by the referee.
Exactly, the marker has to be in agreement that the rule has been applied
A marker is not a referee and does not have any authority except recording scores. If the marker disagrees with the player's actions, he could point it out to the player and/or the committee.
In a club competition your marker is attesting your score and that you followed the rules. If they don’t agree you as the player have to seek an agreement.. if they report post event and say you cheated then you stand up in front of the committee and state they agreed the way forward at the time and if there is a third member of the group they act as the witness.. of cause this all falls apart when you let the groups pick themselves
Just go to the drop zone that’s nearest if it’s compulsory or take relief from the entry point to the hazard
How would the drop zone know where you're going to knob your ball?
Any other reason why that's suspicious? That's going to happen sometimes
Because the forum loves a conspiracy theory
2 were reasonable irritations the drop zone one would be amusing ( and don’t let me ever allocate them because I would put them behind gorse bushes/ women’s tees/ or trees) if the drop zone was poorly allocated.Are someone's meds wearing off?!?!?
Because it doesn't happen sometimes, it's happened three times in the last month. The club are actually going to have a vote on not posting live leaderboards anymore.
