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.

6/24/2026 - Oaks North

I was surprised to see someone in our foursome stomp behind their ball before a chip shot.  I didn't think you could do that, except on the tee box.  I was only 90% confident in this, and I had just met the guy, so I didn't say anything.

It is literally Rule #1.1 - Play the course as you find it. 

Rule #8.1 goes into more detail on this.  Per Rule #8.1a, you are not allowed to move, bend, or break any living object.

The exception for the tee box is listed in Rule #8.2b.
