Here's a question: when do the rules get ammended? At the end of a season, after a game, or anytime the USGA feels like it (between rounds)? I remember someone playing a hole with a pencil as a tee to get enough loft to go over a tree on a dog-leg right, enabling that person to get an eagle. Shortly thereafter, there was a maximum tee length put in place.

So, I'd *love* to see someone like Tiger or anyone else who could bounce their ball all the way to the cup at a game do it just to make the USGA revise the rule. If there wasn't a ruling against it at that game (maybe they could say that you couldn't walk while hitting the ball repeatedly or something) there would be shortly thereafter. Even more fun would be the nearly unbeatable world's record for lowest score at that course.

as interesting as that would be it wouldn't really be in the spirt of the game it would be interesting to see what would happen though.

Back on page one you wanted to crack someone for ruining the game if they did that.I know its becoming fall there in southern Austrailia so would you be thinking this would be a great way to double eagal when snow falls there. Tiger calculates Earth rotation not continental drift

The max score allowed on a hole is 14.. now in a competition, picking up your ball means you are not posting a score, hence you are Withdrawn. I've seen it happen in a local event.

But isn't the question here if that would be legal? Assuming he managed to get his ball bouncing on his club without violating 14-1. If so, he technically wouldn't be picking up his ball, just double hitting it, in a way. And because the double hit is only a one stroke penalty plus the first stroke, no matter how many times the ball is struck, you could record a two for every hole. Assuming you could drop it straight into the cup and play it as it lies, meaning the ball would be holed. *Shrug*

That's how I interpreted it.

When Memorex88 presented the idea, he meant that if a golfer,TIGER, swung, popped it up and bounced it on the club to the hole,would it be two strokes or if he did it for 18 holes is it 36?

I thought it was that if he did it on every hole for 18 holes, it would be a 36 on the card.
