There you go again. You have substituted the word 'game' where 'frustration' should be used.


>THE USGA WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL GOLFERS
>
>There is a possibility of MAJOR rule changes to the game of golf, this may occur sometime after November 4.
>This is only a preview as the complete rule book is being written now.
> Here are a couple of basic changes.
>Golfers with handicaps:
> - below 10 will have their green fees increase 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 $ 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.
