[C. Edmund Wright]

What gets me is all these supposed conservatives...who know in their hearts that riduculous rules and regulations by government are anti liberty - sticking up for the most severe and now absurd golf rule over common sense - all without having any idea how intellectually bankrupt they are being. Golf realized that the scorecard rule is antiquated and overly harsh, so they gave themselves a way to mitigate it - they use that mitigation now- and people go beserk.

ROFL

Yeah; you can apply your same whole-cloth argument to the U.S. Constitution, like the Liberals/Progressives/Socialists do....it's "Antiquated and overly harsh", too, in THEIR minds.

Ditto. It's just a stupid game.

Why get one's panties all in a wad over a stupid game?

Golf, tiddly-winks, baseball, football, hockey, basketball, etc., all just opiates for the masses so they don't pay attention to what's really important.
