Following on from the balls thread. How many people think the rules of golf are the rules of golf or do they consider them to be only aplicable tothe pros'.
Now for a social round certain things in my opinion are permissable to speed play up. But come a proper club or society competition the rules of golf are law. where OB is OB, you cannot swap balls mid hole just becase you putt better with that softer ball & drive better with the hard one. Heck, you'd get a ticking off from me in a social round if I noticed that sort of thing.
Would you let anyone any day of the week tee up outside the tee-markers or move the tee-markers? No!
There is no such thing as a free drop from a divot as much as we'd like there to be.
