For senior golfer's:- PGA 2021 RULE CHANGES IN EFFECT FOR GOLFERS AGE 50+ Rule 9k.34 If a tree is between the ball and the hole, and the tree is deemed to be younger than the player, then the ball can be moved without penalty. This is so because this is simply a question of timing; when the player was younger, the tree was not there so the player is being penalized because of his age.... Rule 1.a.5 A ball sliced or hooked into the Rough shall be lifted and placed on the Fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the Rough with no penalty. The senior player should not be penalized for tall grass which ground keepers failed to mow. Rule 2.d.6 A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed NOT to have hit the tree. This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The senior player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree, and play the ball from there. Rule 3.B.3 There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone else, thereby making it a stolen ball. The senior player is not to compound the felony by charging himself with a penalty. Rule 4.c.7 If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The Law of Gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf. Rule 5. Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the Hole. No one wants to make a mockery of the game. Rule 6.a.9 There is no penalty for so-called out of bounds. If penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The senior player deserves an apology, not a penalty. Rule 7.G.15 There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. Senior players should not be penalized for any shortcomings of the manufacturers. Rule 8.k.9 Advertisements claim that golf scores can be improved by purchasing new golf equipment. Since this is financially impractical for many senior players, one-half stroke per hole may be subtracted for using old equipment. Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes. Golf is...above all...a game of integrity.

Golf Breeds Optimism Like no Other Sport and Optimism Leads to a Longer, Healthier Life! As a breed, golfers are supremely optimistic. There must be something intrinsic to the sport that makes it so. Maybe it won’t be raining at the club. Maybe we can get nine holes in before the storm. Maybe I can clear the water with my three-wood.... Maybe we’ll find it, after all, they cleared the woods recently. We should be able to find it; it didn’t go that far into the rough. I think we can get around before dark. I can still chip in and make par. If I make this putt, it will only be a bogey and there are plenty more birdie opportunities to come! They are probably out of my range but I’ll wait just in case I hit the drive of my life, a strong gust of wind comes up, it hits a sprinkler head and ends up near the group in front who are, after all, only 325 yards away. Why is all this optimism important? Because multiple studies show optimists live longer and are generally healthier than pessimists. Optimists are also less likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoke cigarettes. Optimists are generally supported by others. People who feel supported by others take better care of themselves. In addition, such social support may lower blood pressure and stress hormones, which helps the immune and cardiovascular systems, according to research carried out at the University of Utah.
