O'Bama presses USGA for changes

THE USGA WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL GOLFERS

There is a possibility of MAJOR rule changes to the game of golf, this may occur sometime after March 31, 2009.

(Administration of change)

This is only a preview as the complete rulebook is being written now. Here are a couple of basic changes.

Golfers with handicaps:

- below 10 will have their green fees increasedby 135%
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees
- above 18 will play for free and even get a check from the club/course played

The $ amount put in for bets will be as follows:

-for handicaps below 10 an additional $100
-between 11 and 18 no additional amount
-above 18 you will receive the total amount in the pot and you do not even have to play.

The term "gimme" putt will be changed to "entitlement" and will be used as follows:

-handicaps below 10, no entitlements
-handicaps above 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts
-handicaps above 18, if on green, no need to ever putt, just pick it up

These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness in scoring so that the final scores of all players will be about the same.

In addition, a Player will be limited to a max of one birdie and/or six pars, any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or par from the player making the birdie or par, can that Player begin to count his score again.

The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes but the term 'net score' will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps 18 and above. This is intended to 'redistribute' the success of winning by making sure that in every competition the above 18 handicap players will post only 'net score' against every other player's gross score.

These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be about Fairness Only. It should have nothing to do with Ability.

I know not many from the other side are responding to your crying, but please take your shovel n' pail

back to the politics forum. Try winning the election next time. Just a helpful hint....Don't try using that 40 something year old woman (who was so surprised that having a baby at 44 didn't go well

.)

Yeah, I mean it was cool for the prior administration to be the butt of jokes left and right, but heaven forbid anyone make a comment about the chosen one.

That's yet another lie. There's a forum dedicated to it. They just didn't want their thread to have to compete for attention with the Conservative threads that abound there.

George Carlin would not like you. It's called satire and has nothing to do with my political views.

No, I am staying away from that garbage on the political forum, but now they come here, too.

Trig is smarter than his momma, but no doubt you supported that ticket. Now, you get agitated. You should of acted up when he selected that lunatic to be on the ticket. Fck reality, you wanted her to have her say. The center didn't like her. Anyone smarter than your Presidential Candidate could have added that up. Scoreboard...you're out.

You wrote some lies involving a political figure. Then, you put it in the sports forum. He's not a professional athlete. He's a politician. Write your lies about politicians in the political forum.

It's a pack of political lies. He/she/It adapted it to sports, because He/She/It wanted more attention than they thought it would get in the correct forum. Anyone can adapt political lies to get them into a forum. You think I can't?

"Sarah n' Trig went to the track. Lil Trig got knocked on his a-s-s by a kid who's parents were oblivious to what was going on. Sarah says she isn't gunna sue the track(poor Trig's now an even dimmer bulb,) but uses it as an example of why the laws about illegal immigration need to be enforced, and strengthened."

See? Track issue. Put it in the paddock. People at the track need to keep their kids from running around like animals being hunted.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski says, "Pull my finger." Oops wrong quote.

He said, "As much as I respect what President Obama's is doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the game of Golf."

Wow. I sort of thought the satirical portion was funny.

Then I realized it paled in comparison to the next 18 posts.

Unintentionally hilarious.
