Is it a PGA rule that  players can't whear shorts in PGA events?

"Appearance/Conduct: Players: While on the host facility property, players shall present a neat appearance in both clothing and grooming. Clothing worn by players shall be consistent with acceptable golf fashion. Blue jeans, shorts and/or cutoffs and T-shirts are considered inappropriate."

They are no longer as tight as they were. If you see 70's footage of the game those shorts just looked painful.In my experience the women I know watch the game for the love of it and find it offensive that it's always said the tightness of their shorts was the only reason for watching.I alwys assumed they were more fitted cause it stops them being pulled at when they take a high mark.

Actually nothing prevents a coach from cueing a player to challenge.  The worst that could happen is that if a coach is "coaching" a player during a match they may be forced to pay a fine and the coach could be barred from sitting in the players box for the rest of the tournament.  This virtually never happens as coaches are often giving signs and unless it is blatant most people look the other way.  Therefore, it would be quite easy for a coach to signal to a player whether or not to challange a call.

Depends on what type of grass and time of year.  A lot of the PGA events cut the greens so low and don't water them during the event they have to rebuild them following the event.  \n\nMost of the green's are 3/16\nGCSAA\n healthy, vigorous green can be maintained at a very short cutting height (as low as 1/8-inch) for short periods of time without serious consequences if it's been prepared properly and weather conditions are acceptable. Courses hosting tournaments often take months (and spend significant extra money) to bring greens up to an ultrafast speed for PGA Tour players. For example, the greens at Augusta National or Oakmont may "stimp" up to 14 when properly prepared and dry.

No, the no ball rule is only applicable for the front foot. At any point in time, during the delivery of the ball, the front foot should not completely cross the popping crese for delivery to be legitimate

They can't because the lpga is for ladies only. a dude with a sex op wasn't allowed to play. but shame on the pga for allowing the tv rating b.s. that goes on now just because someone didn't clarify that the pga was meant for men, or was it, but now that there is an lpga there is no reason for a female golfer to play on the pga tour apart from money. now there is a lpga the rules for the pga should be changed,   maybe the MPGA should be started. but tv money will never allow that to happen not now or not for a while

Tradition allows the coach to wander about some.  The rulebook requires him to stay there, but in a casenote right underneath the rule, it allows him to move around: "It has been common practice for many years... to be slightly outside the box... The coach shall not be considered outside the box unless the opposing manager complains, and then the umpire shall (strictly enforce the rule...)"\n\nA coach also has a total right to leave the box during play to get out of the way of the play or to signal a runner to advance or return, provided again he doesn't get in the way of things.  If he does at any time, interference is called, with its attached penalties.\n\nAlso, MLB and common sense permit the coach to move back for his own protection.  When Mark McGwire hit in the late 90s, his 3rd base coach would position himself near the grandstand and perhaps 75 feet farther down the line to avoid McGwire's foul balls... :)

Rule 6-6 makes it a rule for the golfer to attest to the marked score by signing the card.  Failure to do so is a disqualifying event.\n\nYou are also DSQ for signing a card with a lower score than actually made (even by accident).  If the score is higher, the higher score stands.\n\nA few years ago, at the end of a tournament two pros accidently had their cards switched and they both signed off without reading the cards.  Both were disqualified even though it was a PGA official who admitting to switching the cards by accident when he handed them to the players.\n\nYour signature is your word on those and you must verify it.

This was exactly what I meant when I answered the Tiger vs Phil question. Only this time, Phil didn't have the magic to save par or even bogey. And he has no one to blame but himself.\n\nPhil's course management for the week was excellent right up until the last hole, and then he went for it. I could understand that mentality if he were trailing by a stroke, or maybe....MAYBE...if he were tied for the lead coming home. But the fact of the matter was he was up by a stroke. Had he played an iron off the tee, played a long iron in and even landed around the green, worst case scenario he's in a playoff.\n\nThis is the mental block he has to get away from the become a seriously dominant force on the PGA. Perhaps he needs to add Dr Bob Rotella to his new entourage. The go-for-broke attitude is entertaining sometimes, but when you have a shot at the US Open, and then essentially give it away, it's time to re-evaluate your position on that kind of thing.

I've been told (by one who has played there as a guest) that there is no limitation on rounds per member, though there is a limitation on guests.   Also, though there may be no express limitation on rounds, effectively there is a de facto limitation: the course is closed to all members for a significant portion of the year so as to keep it pristine.

because they haven't tried it?? golf isn't really an everyday type of sport that is easily mastered..(let alone one that u grow up with)...it's also because it's what i call a "quite" sport, for many the definition of sport includes beer, loud chearing and chearleaders...

I am a woman and may be the only one who agrees with you.  I think the gals like Michelle Wie are trying to challenge themselves at the ultimate level- against the men.  I am not happy that sponsors of the PGA and Nationwide events are giving them invites- this takes away from the men players that maybe have conditional status on either tour but have worked hard through Q school and such and really deserve the spot.  Men are not allowed on the LPGA (nor would they want to play on it- less money-etc...) but it is more the principal.  But the PGA ONLY cares about TV ratings... so they will pay whatever to have the crowds.  Anyway- sorry to my fellow sisters!

I like many of the new rule changes. I absolutely love 4-on-4 during overtime. It opens the game up more. One rule I would like to see though is that a player's namemust have a minimum of 3 vowels, just so I can know how to pronounce it.

If they were completely below ground, they players couldn't see the game.  If they were completely above ground, then the fans in the first row couldn't see.  Its also an easy way to access the locker rooms below.

It's supposedly the "no charge zone" where offensive charges won't be called.  Depends on who the player is, though.

Well, if I am playing with friends I would beat the tar out of my buddy who ever-so-kindly parked his cart on my ball.\n\nIn all seriousness though, I believe that falls under rule 13 of the Rules of Golf: Ball Played as it Lies. However, because the cart is a movable obstruction the cart should be moved and played where it lies. However, if the cart were to become inoperable then the player would be due relief.

The field is frozen at the time of caution...the rule was changed after a race in which DJ brought out the caution, his car stalled in the middle of the straightaway, and the cars racing back to the line nearly plowed right into him.  This was also the time they put into effect the "lucky dog" pass, since you can't race back to the line, the first car not on the lead lap gets his lap back (unless he's the one that caused the caution).
