Creator gives opinion on golf rulesfrom @shaneohgolfs

[01]

Overview

The creator presents a list of seven 'relaxed rules of golf' allegedly released by the Golf Channel and PGA Tour. He goes through the list sequentially, offering his personal opinion on each rule, agreeing with some (like maximum score and improving lies for casual play) and modifying others (like the penalty system and ball search time). He uses the controversial rules to challenge traditionalist views on handicaps and concludes by showing a tweet from pro golfer Max Homa that supports the idea of just having fun, before asking his audience for their opinions.

Transcript

The good channel and the PGA Tier just released a new set of rules that we have to talk about, and it has golf fans on social media going crazy. Number one, maximum scores double par. This is fantastic for a casual round. If you're putting for nine, pick your ball up and move on. Number two, penalties should all be one stroke. I don't necessarily agree with this, but I do think that all penalties should be lateral in a casual round. If you can't find your ball, you shouldn't have to go back to the tee box and re tee. Number three, limit ball search to two minutes. I think that this should be limiting ball search to thirty seconds. If you can't find your ball, drop another one and swing away. And also, if you like golf content like this, make sure you're following. Number four has a lot of people fired up. Improve unfortunate lies. We do not get paid to play this game. If your golf ball lands on rocks or roots or a dividend in the middle of the fairway, move it over. If you've done that, your handicap is not real. I respect that you think that way, but if you've ever allowed number five conceded putts or gimmes, then your handicap is also fake. Number six, no equipment restrictions. In a casual round, take as many clubs as you want. Best gonna make your bag heavier, but test stuff out. Nobody cares. And you would think that number seven would be the easiest rule to follow. Use common sense. Unfortunately, it's not. Max Homer said it perfectly. Do whatever you want. This game sucks. Just have fun. But I do wanna know your thoughts on these new rules. Do you love them? Do you hate them? Let me know what you think.
