New golf rules under Obama
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE USGA AND OBAMA WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL GOLFERS
There is a possibility of MAJOR rule changes to the
game of golf, this may occur after November 4.
This is only a preview as the complete rule book is
being re- written now. Here are some basic changes:
Golfers with handicaps:
- below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees
- above 18 will play for free and even get a check
from the club/course played.
The dollar amount put in for bets will be as follows:
-for handicaps below 10 an additional $10
-between 11 and 18 no additional amount
-above 18 you will receive the total amount in the
pot and you do not even have to play.
The term "gimme putt" will be changed to "entitlement"
and will be used as follows:
-handicaps below 10, no entitlements
-handicaps above 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts
-handicaps above 18, if on green, no need to ever
putt, just pick it up
These entitlements are intended to bring about
fairness in scoring so that the final scores of all players
will be about the same.
In addition, a Player will be limited to a max of one
birdie and/or six pars, any excess must be given to those
fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only
after all players have received a birdie or par from the
player making the birdie or par, can that Player begin to
count his score again.
The current USGA handicap system will be used for the
above purposes but the term "net score" will be
available only for scoring those players with handicaps 18
and above. This is intended to "redistribute" the
success of winning by making sure that in every competition
the above 18 handicap players will post only "net
score" against every other player's gross score.
These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of
golf. Golf must be about Fairness Only, it should have
nothing to do with Ability.
