My Times

I could never have said it better! The Dangerous Truth of our times.

One of the fascinating things about Golf that makes it so different from other games is that there are no Umpires.

While Rules Officials do travel with the golfers on the PGA Tour they are not there to call penalties on the players but merely to be knowledgeable about the Rules of Golf. Golfer's must penalize themselves and are 100% responsible for their or their Caddie's actions during a tournament. If the golfer has broken a Rule or a Procedure they must mark their scorecard accordingly. A mistake is Disqualification. A penalty is a higher score which must be recorded before the card is signed and handed in.

When playing without Television or Rules Officials the players complete honesty is demanded in recording their scores and adding on Penalty Strokes.

This differs greatly from Football or Baseball or Basketball or Tennis where the players are forced by the rules to push those rules to the limit in order to score the maximum and Penalized by the Referee's for breaking them.
Which sounds a lot like our World except we have the power to change the rules of the game to make it easier to score.
If we have enough money.

Wouldn't it be an awesome world if we played it by the Rules of Golf ? (not literally! :)
