Please vote to decide what to call this section.

The poll will last a week, and the results will be visible when the poll closes. (or so that's what it said when I created it)

Let me know if you'd like to add a new name to the poll. (People should be able to change their votes even if they've already voted)

How about "Look it up your damn self"

I'm still going with "You're DQ'ed, Bitch!"

Can't we just have one thread that doesn't bash Michelle Wie?

I like the secret voting.

Lemmings and au contraire voting buh-bye.

I'm guessing that "What the *fudge* Do I Know?" is taken on another golf forum?

Considering how many times people point toward the on-line handbook, it may be nice to post a link to it, FWIW.

J*****s used to always say that he couldn't do that 'cuz the USGA would get mad at him.  You're only allowed to link to the front page of their site.  How in the hell someone can dictate where you point your links is beyond me but it sounds like USGA style idiocy.

Rules of Golf (http://www.usga.org/playing/rules/books/index.html)

USGA Handicap System (http://www.usga.org/playing/handicaps/manual/index.html)

Dys, unless you have reservations maybe you could create a sticky with these two links.

He might have been hyper-sensitive, as he was working with them to develop the regional clubs.

If they don't want people linking to internal pages, I'm going to bet there's some code to revert the clicker to the home page.  They can sack up and implement it, if it means that much to them.   8)

I forgot about the local club thing with each premium membership. How's that working out?  [sm_devil]

"Ask Zoltar".

Watch for the big anouncement.

LOL.   ;D

You make a good point CW.  If the USGA wants to filter on referring URL they can do so easily. 

If there's a link to the USGA Rules how about a link to the R & A Rules?  for those of us of come under the auspices of the true rules of golf.....;)

Hang tight while I diff the two sets of rules.  I'll post where they don't match. 

....

There you go.

;) ;D

Actually, there are some differences in the appendices and the etiquette section.  But the Rules of Play (1-34) are exactly the same.  The Rules of Golf are a joint venture between the R&A and the USGA.  They are equal partners in the oversight of the Game.

If you must ...

"Tools and their Rules" seems increasingly appropriate.

You're DQ'ed, Bitch!

Ultimately the question is not what to name the room. What seems to be sorely lacking is the clear presence of a moderator, how can this room survive without one?

To paraphrase a really good rock band in the 70's called Sweet.

Moderators are like oxygen
You take to much you get too high
Not enough of them and you'll die.

I for one will no longer waste my valuable time and energy in a room without one.

Screw you guys I'm going home.

Assuming you played at least 7 holes under the Rules of Golf you still have to post the score.

What if it's a round that isn't being used towards your index?

Do the 7 holes even have to have been played under the Rules of Golf for the 9-hole score to be eligible?

Well, the brain wizards over there say he probably even playing golf, if certain conditions weren't met.

You might have a point.  I guess 4 of them have to be.   [sm_dontknow]

Thanks a lot.  I was going for the feckin' joke.  I knew I should have went with...


'Cos little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

 :tapsfingers:

I can't believe how close the voting was. [sm_shock]

The people have spoken.

All 14 of them. lol ;D

Quit yer yappin', lib. ;) Maybe if more of you guys had gotten off your asses to vote, you would have won.  :D

I was undecided.

I have quit my yappin. :P Although now that you mention it has been over a week so I can start my yappin again.












;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
