There are over golf questions and answers here! They are arranged from most recent to least recent top to bottom and the archive contains all the questions and answers that have appeared here in the "Ask the Pro" section which is the tiniest fraction of the total number of questions that have been submitted. The archive index has the questions and answers organized by topic and somewhat alphabetized. You may find it interesting reading to see what others are asking, and you can also ask a question yourself.
Feel free to ask any golf-related questions. I'll do my best to respond but I can't guarantee that I'll get to everybody, especially if I've already answered the question here on the site. However, the language of the rule and the note does not require a certain type of ball marker. You could mark your ball with the tip of a golf umbrella, the shaft of your 5-iron or a tee and it would not violate the rules of the game unless the marker itself caused "mental interference.
This rule states that a player may ask his opponent to mark his ball if it "interferes either physically or mentally with his play. Mental interference is not defined, so the marker doesn't have to be in your line or even within your eyesight to be upsetting.
But the Decisions book allows the tournament committee to penalize a player who abuses the rule, which "is intended to cover situations where there is a reasonable possibility that one ball might assist or interfere with another ball. The general rule forbids a player from touching the line of a putt, but it is permissible to press down a ball marker. Although the rules do not recommend it, it is even permissible to place a ball marker in front of your ball. Of course, you need to insure you replace the ball in its correct spot in back of your marker instead of in front, or you will incur a two-stroke penalty in medal play or loss of hole in match play.
Sometimes a tournament organizing body supplements USGA rules with local rules that apply to a specific event. The PGA Tour, for example, used to require — not just recommend — that players use "a coin or other small object" as a ball marker. Employing the second-place-is-first-loser philosophy isn't so much a mindset as it is the way he has built his career.
Even he might admit, though -- at least to himself, if not to the rest of us -- that, after heinous chipping displays and deactivated glutes, his decision to compete in the Masters is based less on that erstwhile will to win and more on a confidence that at least he won't embarrass himself on the game's grandest stage. Of course, Woods' mere presence will hold out hope that he can turn back the clock. That, on the year anniversary of his most recent Masters win, he can find some magic among the dogwoods and azaleas.
That rumors of him being ready outweigh those about him being ready to quit, that reports of him posting an impressive worst-ball score override those of him stubbing chip shots. Logic dictates that if Woods can return to form anywhere, it might as well be Augusta National. In the wake of his personal scandal five years ago, he returned to finish in fourth place.
Without a Friday penalty for a bad drop two years ago, he could have won for a fifth time. Even in his unsuccessful bid to triumph at this event over the past decade, even when his game has been something less than envied, he owns seven finishes of sixth or better in eight total appearances.
None of which will keep him from having plenty of motivational words for the refrigerator -- or the rest of his rental house. Just as was written about Nicklaus in , it will be insisted, "He just doesn't have the game anymore. Maybe that's right. Just like with Nicklaus, it'll be written, "It's rusted from lack of use.
