Radical thought - Pass Level 1 Rules test or you're not allowed to play in comps??

I’d be 100% behind this, covid seems to have turned a great deal of range warriors into members who have not idea of the basics.

Some I’ve heard lately are shocking!

Examples would be good. 👍

16 capper with a “ swing coach “ from a local top 100 course with no idea how to take a drop?

11 capper who only plays with their friends ask if bunkers are in play or do they get a free drop out as that’s what he does with his mates? same player believes mulligans are standard (both examples not a wind up) his eg showed call cards around 79-82 over the past year, shot over 110 in his first drawn medal.

competition golf rules are hard, I think I’ll stick to social golf was his response after the round.
