Markers shouldn't be making rules.

Lighten up Francis.

Lighten up Francis.

Who Francis?

But the title of this forum is Rules of Golf & Handicapping.

When I played a course in Victoria that the locals had carved out of the bush (Grampians GC) I got the same advice - if I should hit my ball off the fairway I should not go looking for it in the undergrowth…spiders and snakes…I took the hint and kept my ball on the fairway. I note in passing that playing on their oiled-sand greens was certainly different…

And when playing another course in Victoria and surrounded by kangaroos (often lying or standing only feet away) - I did ponder, when does a kangaroo change from being a harmless grazing animal a bit like a funny looking sheep, into a dangerous animal that might do you damage…?

When it gets hit by a golf ball.

When it gets hit by a golf ball.

That’s what I was thinking…as I stood there swinging a club while surrounded by the critters.

Have hit the odd Roo with a golf ball and they just bounce away.

Friend killed a Joey once with an errant shot, but as they get older they get pretty tough.
