Golf is such a stupid but awesome game.

Feels like what he did is very far away from the machine made green reading books of the past. Seems more akin to buying a strokesaver in the shop that has a couple of arrows showing slope of the green.

Burn it all down, no yardage books no nothing, get to your ball, 45 seconds to hit it. 46 seconds you get a stroke, no warnings no on the clock BS. Hit the ball in the fairway, hit the ball on the green it’s not fucking brain surgery.

So can I still bring out my contractors level to read the greens? I won’t write anything down.

So was it the sketching in the book that was the issue, or the involvement of software?
Like could someone play the course, manually note the various breaks, and then copy them into the book?

Integrity! Wish we could say the same about Patrick Reed…
Lesson, make a mistake? Own up to it.

Top stuff. This kind of character is what golf is all about

I hadn’t thought about this since the “Snitchpatrick” incident a few years ago. Just for curiosity’s sake, I would love to look through several player’s books for an event. Like many rules in golf, it’s a very specific yet vague rule. It’d be interesting to see what different players do to follow/skirt the rule. For example, would you be able to have a note on your map that reads “6×2” to remind you to aim 6 paces on and 2 in to land on a specific shelf? Or is that just as illegal as drawing arrows?

Are players not allowed to take notes and write in their yardage book? Was the penalty that someone else gave him the information he used?

Just another example of a player over-relying on coaching.

After all the “free drops” I see players get after arguing for 5 minutes with a rules official, this is egregious.
