Which stupid Golf Rules should be changed? 

Me and my buddies call that a “brovisional”… when you hit a good shot and can’t seem to find your ball so you drop without penalty

Generally agree, but you have to be realistic. I've played with guys who used the "lost under the leaves" concept to turn a 215 yard drive into a 270 yard drive. If you're playing on your own I guess you just need to hold yourself to account, obviously if playing in a group you can ask them about where you think a fair spot to drop would be.

Completely agree, if you’re turning 215 yard drives into 270 yard drives your score is meaningless imo.

@@MonsterERB that’s a very valid point. A buddy of mine was a real distance exaggerator. Don’t get me wrong, he could hit the ball a long way, but I remember he swore his ball carried this ravine that was like a 340 yard carry, I was like “my brother, you’re smoking crack”

I use to play in a club that had a seasonal leaf rule. It lead to people playing high risk shots blind, that they'd not normally try, knowing they could claim leaf rule for a lost ball. Playing sensible for position was then penalised.

Drop height should have been changed to from above the knee and below the waist.

I find it easy to avoid the fairway divots by simply avoiding the fairway altogether

When you receive a penalty.. it is 2 clubs..whether it is a 1 or 2 stroke penalty. .... and if the relief is free it is one club length. Also..usually a 1 stoke penalty is given for things that occur as a result of playing a shot. 2 stroke penalties are usually when you do something naughty, or stupid, that you should not have done.

Concept: Masters- Lean traditional w/ electronic ban, more value in experienced, possibly give the caddie market a boost; Augusta already doesnt allow private recordings of the course, easy to adjust, plenty of history in the course to show how it evolved with the game and its practitioners The Open- 100% traditional; speaks for itself being in the homeland of golf US Open- 100% modern; plethora of courses of age, difficulty and infamy to test practitioners and push design and creativity to the edge( think like a profession greenkeepers revenge in a way); prime environment for brands and new ideas to promote product Pga Champ- lean modern with equipment band; skills test of talent on the most difficult courses; would either establish common lofts or establish a range of lofts in categories such as “modern” “”semi-modern” or “traditional” and the yardage each club “should” get with x club head speed in no wind, mild wind, etc. Prime environment for the community to really see the difference between the average golfer and the pros and the bridge that can be built with the industry.

@@cancersilver9546 yep, that's the general idea.

Have a tour event where every person has to hand in a shopping list: 12 balls, no more than 3 dollars MSRP each 1 putter, no more than 200 dollars MSRP 3 wedges, combined no more than 250 MSRP 1 set of irons P-5 MSRP no more than 500. 3 choices of Hybrid, Utility or lower woods no more than 150 each. 1 3wood and 1 driver, combined value no more than 400 dollars. The organizer then purchases all your stuff, marks it and you get the bag the day of the practice round Thats a 14 club bag for 1500 dollars with "cheap" balls. it will force every brand to have proper handicap 20 level equipment that is good bang for buck so amateurs can play without 600 dollar drivers. or just do events that only allow blades (so no woods/drivers) and the following event that only allows mallets (so no irons, only hybrids)

And if they got a lucky good lie in the rough did they have to roll it into a bad lie?

​@@theythinkimmadyouknow And your the reason golf is boring

@@Bomion why, because I dont cheat? Dont submit fake scores and play the game as its intended and just have fun with it rather than whine that my balls in a bit of a scrape in the ground? Yeah, I'm the dull one alright🤣🤣

@@theythinkimmadyouknow They're middle schoolers. You're a grown ass adult. Calm down.

@@theythinkimmadyouknow explain to me why you’re allowed to fix a divot in your way on the green before you putt. That’s allowed right? Shouldn’t you just play it as it lies?

Not practical for the walkers (if you’re not walking you shouldn’t be playing) to be carrying sand. Curiously it’s the golfers in carts who NEVER sand or replace their divots.

@@alliejr Thats a weak excuse. I’ve got walkers on my squad. They carry sand AND… wait for it… sand their divots.

@@alliejrso many players can’t walk 6-8 miles but can definitely play with a cart. That’s a crazy take 🤪

I don't think I've played a local course in the last 10+ years that has even had sand available to the players. Fixing a divot as was taught to me, was replacing the patch of grass back on the mark. Sand was something you only saw on TV.

@@yetisdeuce1315 I’ve only played short courses, full munis, public courses, & country clubs in California, Texas, Kyushu, and the Kanto areas. From 1988 I’ve seen sand not be provided ONE time (in Texas). I’ve paid green fees from $400 to $24, I’ve never seen ZERO sand provided. You should play better courses. Dont trust ME. I’m another internet rando. Go look it up. Players are EXPECTED to sand their own divots and 1 extra. Not doing that is like spitting lougies indoors and complaining about how nasty it is.

I've seen a few courses use the lateral hazard for OB as a local rule. Speeds things up

This is how most people play, especially if you play public courses.

Agreed. The challenge is to get YOUR/MY COURSE to adopt it 🙄
