Duffer Golfer Rules

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 Duffer 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 Duffer
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, making
it a stolen ball. The Duffer is not to compound the felony by charging
himself or herself 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 travesty 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 Duffer
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. Duffers should not be penalized for manufacturers'
shortcomings.

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 Duffer golfers,
one-half stroke per hole may be subtracted for using any prior year's (then
brand new ... and still perfectly serviceable) golf equipment or terms such
as: "brassy", "niblick", "mashy", or "The hell you say!".

Please advise all Duffer friends of these important changes, and carry a
copy with you at all times, so you may successfully defend yourself should
your wife or any smart-alecky young male challenge any of these clearly improved, perfectly reasoned, impeccably fair and long overdue new rules.
