I'm torn on the idea of no solo rounds.
I guess I have to play with THP'ers more!
Everyone wins!

AgreedI don't care what this stupid rule says, I'm posting my solo rounds.

So those that have used an anchored stroke for 30+ years should do the same? Honestly, I'm not defending the rule at all but for those that play straight and have a HC I find it odd that this is the one that breaks the camel's back.
It's odd that some of us who have played by the rules for decades are offended that the USGA is now telling us that it suddenly doesn't trust us? Or only trusts us only when we're playing with another homo sapien, regardless of their understanding (or lack of) the rules. Someone please explain to me why a round with a 3 year old can be posted but one alone can't. I think it's strange that you think that those golfers who play with integrity and respect for the rules of golf wouldn't be offended.
To me this makes less sense than the federal speed limit law of 55 mph. I didn't follow that law either. Hopefully the USGA will get rid of this one quicker than the 21 years it took Congress to get rid of that law.

I didn't say anything about anyone being offended. Speed all you want, you're not posting anywhere what speed you're driving for a HC. The anchored rule is just as dumb, IMO. There is a thread recently started about divots which is also dumb. This one is still a rule from the governing body that many say they are not gonna follow. Why follow any?
I dunno, I always post all of my scores, i think this won't be any different. Maybe when i play alone i'll just play more than one ball
I won't be not a chance. I post every post-able score good or bad. I don't cheat either way and I won't have a problem sleeping knowing that I posted a score when playing solo because I will be posting what I shot.
But there are rules already in place to address sandbagging, if the tournament committee's pay attention and use them.I suspect, with absolutely zero inside information, this rule is a step towards moving towards the European system, where only tournament rounds can be posted. Now, I think it will take a LONG time to get there, but I suspect that's desired direction to address the sandbagging problem.
I am trying to understand the reasoning or need for this new rule...IMO perhaps with so many trying to post a low hcp's to qualify to enter Tourneys, would this may keep the entries undoubtedly fair?
