@hobo7070 2 года назад

Overwhelming majority of us are not good enough where any of these "reliefs" would make much of a difference. I see people give themselves better lies and lines all the time, but they are struggling to break 90-100, and frankly, if it helps the pace of play, I don't care. They will not playing to win a tournament anytime soon.

@lylealexander4861 2 года назад

You say they’re struggling to break 90-100 but in reality, they’re struggling to break 100-120 if they were not to take all the unauthorized relief.

@hobo7070 2 года назад

@@lylealexander4861 maybe maybe not. In my experience, these players do not necessarily hit a decent shot from the unauthorized relief. In other words, they are not good enough to consistently take advantage of the relief to make a different (e.g. topping a ball from a divot versus topping the ball after improving its lie -- either way, its a topped ball). No way to really know for sure. Regardless, I'd much rather they hit 90-100 with the unauthorized relief than slowing up the pace of play hitting 100-120...round of golf is already slow enough.

@joshuaburba1048 2 года назад

Hobo, I can so relate to what you're saying. Not that I would take an unwarranted relief, but if I did, it wouldn't make a lick of difference, because I just suck at golf. So, your comment perfectly refers to people such as myself. Have a good one.

So it seems people are often worried about pace of play. This is also something that baffles me. I pay 30-75 to play golf usually on my only day off ill be damned to tee off and run to my ball like I got something to do other than enjoy the day.

@lylealexander4861 2 года назад

@tthompson9509 2 года назад

I started playing golf about 5 months ago. A few of my friends like to bet when we play. My average is about 110-115. After 18 holes, they usually beat me about 3-4 points. Found out that they moved their ball a few inches here and there to get a good lie. When thought that the ball has to stay wherever it landed. When I asked them, they said we're not pro so anyone of us can move the ball, including me. Since I've been doing that, I dropped about 6-10 strokes so I shot, 100, 101, 98, 105 and 102 the last 5 times I played. I don't think it's coincidence. It definitely made a difference.

@gregorybenoit8526 2 года назад

Not during the actual swing. If you knock off a leaf or branch or anything during a practice swing, that’s where it’s a penalty. It’s considered improving your lie. You can’t clear yourself a path so to speak.

@aaronh.917 2 года назад

What do you think of gimme putts/mulligans/skipping penalty strokes (ie hit ball in the woods then hit 2 from the tee, or dropping next to the woods and hitting 3 from there) during your rounds where you are trying to break scoring barriers? Same question for when you claim a new all time lowest score (but with 2 mulligans and a 3-4ft gimme putt for example)? Fairly new to the game so I was interested in hearing your perspective on this

@robhaynes4695 2 года назад

No gimme putts, definitely no mulligans! Just play a legit game. This will only make you a better player. It is what it is. We all have to own up to our mistakes. Why cheat just to say you shot a better score than you actually did. Even if it’s just a fun, casual round.

@tomkimes 2 года назад

At my club we have a local rule to take a drop from roots and rocks, unless it is declared to play the ball down. I've seen plenty of abuse of that rule. Another abuse is ground under repair. Our course does not mark those areas except for tournaments, so there's lots of mis-remembering where those areas are 🤨

Rule 18.3 deals with provisional balls. It does not state that you can deny your playing partner a provisional ball. My suggestion is to check before the match begins as to which ball and number they are playing. When another player states that they are playing a provisional ball, you ask to see what number on the ball that they are going to use. Make sure that they are marked differently.
