Welcome

My name is Nick Doran, and I am the former president of the UCSD Casual Golf Club.

I am going to post rules decisions as I encounter them on the golf course. I am pretty sure that I will be able to come up with at least one rule nugget for each round that I play.

7/31/16 - PGA Championship

I've never been a fan of "preferred lies," or as my club calls it, "lift, clean, and cheat."  But they did what they thought was best.

I'm not sure I saw any footage of a pro cleaning his ball in the fairway.  Were they not doing it very much, or was the telecast trying to downplay it?

    If they're going to invoke that rule it should be before play begins otherwise it gives some players an advantage over others.

    Of course then there is the issue of those who had to complete their third round on Sunday.

    I can't keep up with the comments, but I believe this was put in place before anyone started the fourth round, and it was the fourth round only. Players completing their third round on Sunday were not allowed to lift during their third round, but they were allowed to during the fourth round.

    It's understandable if your time is limited with a new job and all, but a sincere question then, do you desire comments and questions to your article posts?

    Questions and comments are great, I just may not have time to respond to all of them.
