Irresponsible golf!

Let's encourage the responsibility of each golfer.

What reasonable assurance does anyone have that a golfer has any ability to play the game with a basic level of skill that will keep his ball within the confines of the golf course.

No where else but a golf course s someone with no determinable skill, or certification or license, allowed to spray missles hither and yon well off the gof course confines, onto private propery without penalty.Further, tournament formats such as Captains Choice/Best Ball, encourage irrespnsible and super human attempts to hit an out of control ball, a maximum distance, often out of bounds or onto adjacent propery with subsequent peril and damage.

It's time for golf course owners to step up and insist that golfers be skills tested, demonstrating the abilty to hit a ball in bounds and be licensed/certified before being allowed onto the course. Golf balls need to be labeled with the owners license number , name and cell phone numbers.

How about a limit on the number of balls you can put in play. I vote for 3! Loose 3, round over!! Take it to the practice area!!! Read the article on "How to Hit It Straight!

A ball hit off the course is a trespass violation! Sorry!
