I will probably get roasted for this on a great golf forum but I can handle it. I saw on Reddit someone talking about playing a unplayable lie in a bunker and reading the replies got me thinking are golf rules too complicated? First I am just a very casual weekend golfer, just now getting more into golf because my 13 year old son loves it. So I dont know the rules well. But the replies were so confusing, can take it here for one stroke penalty, do this and two stroke, can put ball here but not there. That is just for a simple ball in bunker, not to mention all the water hazard rules, knowing what the different color poles by a water hazard supposed to mean and the seemingly endless rules. Is there two standards for rules, like pros and people really good vs the weekend hacker? I mean when I play I hit it in water I drop one and just take penalty stroke . I do think golf course etiquette is important and I respect the course but do any others kinda simplify the rules and play how I do or does everyone know and follow all golf rules? Got out with my son first time this season this week, both shot 53, so obviously I am terrible but he was excited and pretty sure he will be much better than me by end of season which is exciting, he just loves golf. Thanks for the time.
