Are you really basing your logic off the 2000 rounds you have played when there are over 400,000,000 rounds of golf played in the US every year? Seems like a small sample size doesn't it?


Apparently, golfers are not only cheaters but they also lack reading comprehension. My response was to this quote. Scroll up and read it 3 times. Feel free to you your fingers.

1. Do you think the above assertion is true playing strict USGA rules?

2. Do you agree that 99% of golfers do not play by strict USGA rules?

Those are simple 'yes' or 'no' questions. But feel free to do some internet research before answering.

I couldn't disagree more. Having played competitive golf, I actually have experience with this. You have no clue.

Don't knock someone for their comprehension when you can't even use proper English...

Go back to the poli board and argue about something that you have more than the slightest clue about.

I've played with UnbeWEAVEable, Zach.

I know you don't wanna hear this, but the dude is right. You're wrong.

There's really nothing to discuss. You come from different time. Young golfers today are much better and more competitive than those of your era.

Yes, the term "lots" is both subjective and relative to your experience.

I've played golf competitively for most of my life. So, I have seen "lots" of people break 70 playing strict USGA rules.

Throw in the fact that there's somewhere around 30-40K scratch golfers in the US, that's "a lot" of people with the potential to break 70 playing USGA rules. Especially on their home course.

No, you're pulling a random number out of your arse based on your small sample size of experience.
