It might be easier to cure that slice.

The harder path is the path towards righteousness.

Although, this could be a debatable topic if you've seen my slice.

Its a free drop if you think a fucking troll jumped out of the woods and stole your ball.

The rough on my local course has been heinous early this year due to a wet spring. Now it's drying out and is more playable.

In the meantime, it has put people into desparation mode.

One of the guys on my team, a high handicapper, but also a sharp guy, came up with an alternative to the above (league) rule.

He said, "I can declare a ball unplayable off the tee. That way I can retee, drop within two clublengths, or walk back from the ball (?) keeping that point on a line with the green."

(the advantage here, obviously, is only a one-stroke penalty).

Me: "Hey Jim, you have to find the ball to say it is unplayable."

Him: "Only I can say the ball is unplayable."

Me: "Yes, after you find it. If you don't, the lost ball rule comes into play. Nice try."
