766.0. "Rules question: why can't umbrellas be used?" by CALLME::MR_TOPAZ () Tue Sep 19 1989 10:22
It never rains on the golf course, but just the same...
I've never understood the reasoning behind the rule that says "In
making a stroke, a player shall not seek or accept...protection
from the elements."
You're allowed to have someone carry your clubs and bag, you're
allowed to ride in a cart, and you're allowed to use an umbrella
while walking or waiting -- so why aren't you allowed to have
someone hold an umbrella over your head, especially while putting?
(Semi-serious side question: does anyone know of a ruling that
would allow or disallow the use of those silly-looking hats with
built-in umbrellas on top?)

| WHY IS IT OKAY TO FIX A BALL MARK IN YOUR LINE OF PLAY ON THE
GREEN BUT IT IS ILLEGAL TO REPAIR A SPIKE MARK UNTIL AFTER
YOU PUTT !!!! I THINK THE IDEA ABOUT THE LITTLE UMBRELLA HAT IS
GREAT !

My personal opinion...
When playing an opponant I don't need any obstruction or damage
on the course or greens to help me defeat him. If here is a spike
mark or a scuff mark or whatever, if asked I'll let anyone
fix it.
As for the pros I think any of them who complain about a course
or the course conditions they play on are ASSH*LES. I like the
attitude I see from the older golfers. They scoff at today tour
players who find fault with a course. The older players remember
the when the courses were.
