The senior should not be penalized for tall<br \/>\n\tGrass which ground keepers failed to mow.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 2.d.6 (B)<br \/>\n\tA ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree. This<br \/>\n\tIs Simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The<br \/>\n\tSenior Player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled<br \/>\n\tIf it had Not hit the tree and play the ball from there.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 3.B.3(G)<br \/>\n\tThere shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or<br \/>\n\tNear the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone<br \/>\n\tElse, making it a stolen ball. The player is not to compound the<br \/>\n\tFelony by charging himself or herself with a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 4.c.7(h)<br \/>\n\tIf a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have<br \/>\n\tDropped. The law of gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 5.<br \/>\n\tPutts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in,<br \/>\n\tMay be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches<br \/>\n\tFrom the hole. No one wants to make a travesty of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 6.a.9(k)<br \/>\n\tThere is no penalty for so-called &quot;out of bounds.&quot; If penny-pinching<br \/>\n\tGolf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur.. The<br \/>\n\tSenior golfer deserves an apology, not a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 7..G.15(z)<br \/>\n\tThere is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should<br \/>\n\tFloat. Senior golfers should not be penalized for manufacturers&#8217;<br \/>\n\tShortcomings.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Rule 8.k.9( S)<br \/>\n\tAdvertisements claim that golf scores can be improved by purchasing<br \/>\n\tNew golf equipment. Since this is financially impractical for many<br \/>\n\tSenior golfers, one-half stroke per hole may be subtracted for using<br \/>\n\tOld equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t**************************<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00a0Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Scan on April 20, 2012, 12:28 am<\/p>\n<div>That is GREAT<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Rule 1.a.5 A ball sliced or hooked into the rough shall be lifted and placed on The Fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into The Rough with no penalty.
