Fore!!!!!!!- you will end up in court!!!

South Korean Supreme High Court has fined a Korean golfer for a weird shot that landed his caddie in a hospital for two weeks.

According to the court, that fler was at the 3rd hole at a club in Gunsan Province in Korea. During his mighty swings, he slipped and lost his footing and sent the ball behind him & struck his caddie stomach. ( i think he score at least triple bogey for that hole)

The court ruled is as a violation of duty of that fler to prevent injury ti other persons while playing a sport.

That fler tried to fight and compared to other sports such as boxing etc.

The court says" In the event such boxing or judo, injury to the opponent is to be expected so there is that mitigating circumstances"

The sad thing is, the fler has been fined KRW2.0M( 1 South Korean won = 0.000678 U.S. dollars) for his triple bogey. I wonder how much he lost his side betting that day!!!

Monsoon Season- Winter Rules Apply

Monsoon season is coming!!!! We will again heard lots of four letter word in golf course...A lot of ball will went missing which need CSI to search for it. To make our golfing will be more "fun", we need to look these so call rule.

Winter rules" (also called "preferred lies") is a condition that exists by local rule only and under which golfers are, on certain parts of a golf course, allowed to improve their lies without penalty. This rules is also is not codified in any of the 34 rules that make up the Rules of Golf. The practice is only mentioned in an appendix to the rules, where there is also a sample local rule for use by courses, clubs or committees.
Generally, winter rules are put into place during, of course, the winter, when adverse weather conditions can impact the golf course itself. Under the most common winter rules, a player whose ball is in the fairway would be allowed to improve the lie if that ball was, for example, on a bare patch of ground.
Winter rules can differ from course to course; only a course, club or committee can declare winter rules in effect (a player may not declare, in absence of a ruling from the club or course, that he is playing under winter rules). If you carry a handicap, rounds played under winter rules must be reported for handicap purposes. As for me, I'm still searching for replacement for my club which has been stolen last months. I also need to add another rules for those golfers: Don't steal another golfer club.. You definitely will ended up in HELL!!!
