>>>>>But here is the true litmus test for you. Do you ever cheat at golf? Not in a practice round where you're playing two balls or more from every tee, but just the regular round. I used to nudge the ball once in a while when I first started, but not in the past 15 years.

My golf buddies and I have an understanding that if our ball comes to rest in a divot we can get relief (in hazards, never). But even then I usually don't do it. But if sand traps are unplayable (usually after heavy rain) we get relief.

Now, Mike, I've just thought of a good justification for your firearm. Why not go out on a links and see how many of the blighters you can bag! And the price tag you mentioned is just one of the reasons I hate this elitist waste of real-estate. "A good walk spoiled" (and not even that when they go around on those damn buggies).
