WHAT IS GOLF?
From the book GOLFING WIT, Quips and Quotes for the Golf-Obsessed...
What is Golf?
Golf is a dumb game. You're supposed to play it for fun, but the less you hit the ball, the more fun you have. Lou Graham
Golf is the easiest game of all to play badly. Kevin Flanagan
Gof was never meant to be an exact science. Einstein was lousy at it. Bob Toski
Golf is a game where you sock the ball hard and walk four feet. Herbert Prochnow
Golf is not a funeral, though both can be very sad affairs. Bernard Darwin
Golf is like a love affair: if you don't take it seriously it's boring, and if you do it breaks your heart. Rod Funseth
Golf is not a game, it's bondage. It was obviously devised by a man torn with guilt, eager to atone for his sins. Anon
Golf is the most popular method of beating around the bush. Leopold Fechtner
Golf is somewhere between making love and writing a poem. John Updike

WHAT IF...
Greetings,
As promised, the BLOG winter will discuss golf situations and the the rules that address them.
A member emailed about a situation she encountered that she had never had happen before and the remedy.
What do you do when your ball lands so close to another ball that you can't take your next shot without hitting the other ball?
We all know that on the green, both players mark their balls and continue to putt out. But, if your are anywhere but on the green, USGA says:
22-2. Ball Interfering with Play
Except when a ball is in motion, if a player considers that another ball might interfere with his play, he may have it lifted.
A ball lifted under this Rule must be replaced (see Rule 20-3). The ball must not be cleaned, unless it lies on the putting green (see Rule 21).
In stroke play, a player required to lift his ball may play first rather than lift the ball.
Note: Except on the putting green, a player may not lift his ball solely because he considers that it might interfere with the play of another player. If a player lifts his ball without being asked to do so, he incurs a penalty of one stroke for a breach of Rule 18-2a, but there is no additional penalty under Rule 22.
