Re: Should Golfers be Subject to a Written Test.

I am with the majority. While I disagree with things like player-ability tests for the average golfer (as, according to the US based National Golf Foundation, the average golfer shoots 96), I see absolutely zero harm in issuing an etiquette test, and a small greenskeeping test before admitting people to clubs.

The problem with ilangs' "golfers" is that they have absolutely zero etiquette - that's the crux of the matter.

But it seems to me that when it comes to fixing ball marks and replacing divots, low cappers are worse than high cappers. (ilang style hackers don't fix ball marks - because they don't hit greens.)

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
