I have a steady group of favorite opponents and we repect the personal drive the game pulls out of us.

They may be "Weekend Warriors" or gals who enjoy "Girlfriend's Golf." <br /><br />These folks never have any intention of competing at any level. For those folks, I say cheat away. Enjoy time with your buds on the course and create some great memories. If you don't want to hit off a root, don't. But these folks also loose any kind of bragging rights about breaking 100. <br /><br />When there is any kind of competition going on, cheating is completely NOT COOL. I've played with gals who massively cheated during a member-member tourney. My partner and I were unsuccessful in getting these gals to admit to their real scores. We told the pros and they didn't care because they were in last place. IMHO, these gals shouldn't be allowed to compete in the even again.<br /><br />Folks need to remember in tourneys that it's illegal to sign an incorrect scorecard. SO you better make sure your score AND your opponent's is accurate.<br /><br />Since several of my golfing gal pals and I compete, we stick to the rules and putt everything out.Heather Kerriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479515041675909393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101035140262464334.post-77629408327148958992010-02-09T11:21:02.916-05:002010-02-09T11:21:02.916-05:00Wow, Coach, Great post...
Later in this comment, ...Wow, Coach, Great post...<br /><br />Later in this comment, I'll explain my "cheatin' heart", but, meanwhile, I'll talk about what I usually see when playing.<br /><br />In my experience, 'improving the lie' is by far the most frequent instance of cheating in golf. Whether they just flat out move the ball OR, using what they feel are the rules of golf, try to obtain relief of some type, like the gigantic boulder Tiger was able to get moved for him.<br /><br />Secondly, I think not knowing the rules for hazards and OB lowers scores in many, many instances. Robert Allenby attempted to do it last week, but the officials failed to agree with him.<br /><br />Thirdly, as I have been guilty of this, allowing others to concede putts to you (me) in casual matches, whether it be 3 inches or 3 feet. Mea maxima culpa. The old "Gimme" or "It's In The Leather" routine.<br /><br />All three together could take a score someone 'thinks' he shot and add 5-7 strokes to it easily.<br /><br />I think between the two of us, Coach, we could write a series on 'inaccurate score keeping'...Vince Spencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761454912786879102noreply@blogger.com
