New rules of golf for seniors.

NOTICE:
RULE CHANGES IN EFFECT FOR GOLFERS AGE 60+:
Rule 9.k.34(a): If a tree is between the ball and the hole, and the
tree is deemed to be younger than the player, then the ball can be
moved without penalty.. This is so because this is simply a question
of timing; when the player was younger, the tree was not there so the
player is being penalized because of his age.
Rule 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. The senior player should not
be penalized for tall grass which ground keepers failed to mow.
Rule 2.d.6 (B) - A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed NOT to have hit the tree.
This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game.
The senior player must estimate the distance the ball would have
traveled if it had not hit the tree, and play the ball from there.
Rule 3.B.3(G) - There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The
missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and
pocketed by someone else, thereby making it a stolen ball. The senior
player is not to compound the felony by charging himself with a penalty.
Rule 4.c.7(h) - If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is
deemed to have dropped. The Law of Gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf.
Rule 5. - Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be
blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than
three inches from the Hole. No one wants to make a mockery of the game.
Rule 6.a.9(k) - There is no penalty for so-called “out of bounds.” If
penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur.
The senior player deserves an apology, not a penalty.
Rule 7.G.15(z) - There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as
golf balls should float. Senior players should not be penalized for
any shortcomings of the manufacturers.
Rule 8.k.9(S) - Advertisements claim that golf scores can be improved
by purchasing new golf equipment. Since this is financially
impractical for many senior players, one-half stroke per hole may be
subtracted for using old equipment.
Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes
and keep multiple copies in your golf bag. Those not following the
rules need to be provided a copy.
Golf is.... above all.... a game of integrity.
