...some important rule changes. I just got notified of these by a friend. Thought you may be

I have been using #1 and 3 right along but #2 has never been an issue.
I don't look for lost balls, life is too short.

I just tee another one up and go. They are 24 for $10 at the dollar
store.


Tee up another? You mean 'play a provisional'? Most of the time we 'pretend' the woods are a lateral
hazard and drop where it went in. (Actually, one of our group always seems to add about 50 yards to
that!)


Nah I tee them all up, even in the sand. You can look like Tiger Woods
hitting a ball out of the trap off a tee.
I just tell the people to assess me the appropriate number of strokes
and move on.

I use these balls:

Put a red mark in each eye. I'm not good enough to buy the expensive balls. I don't do much
'intentional' shot shaping. When my shot draws or fades, I'm usually saying, "Oh ****!"


I usually look for Pinnacles at the dollar store, not for any
particular reason, just because that is usually what I have.


Pinnacles are a nice looking ball, with a cute little alignment pattern. But, I like my Snake Eyes.
