My Scorecard - Good or Bad

Now, the "Winter Rules" function was established by a posting at the golf course in Alaska that allowed players to relocate their fairway shots to a tuft of grass because of all of the dead grass hardpan that was a result of the winter kill. My friends and I adopted this rule with glee and were doubly blessed when we noticed there was was no expiration date on the rule! This meant we could relocate our ball if it landed in someone's divot, a rut caused by erosion, or just buried in grass that had not been mowed for a couple of days. I have tried to stop using "Winter Rules" since I no longer live in Alaska, but old habits die hard!

I said earlier in this article I would sleep on a decision and I have just had an epiphany. I think I am going to have some signs made up and distribute them to the local golf courses. The signs will ask the golfers to be on the honor system and donate one dollar to the First Tee organization for every Mulligan they take on the course. Who knows, there could be a ground swell of money coming to the First Tee. For those of you who don't know about the First Tee, it is an organization devoted to introducing the game of golf to children who would not normally have access to golf...a worthy endeavor.

Keep swinging.
