What if the sacred rules of golf are wrong?

Just asking that question may be links heresy. It feels as wrong as whispring in Sunday School that the Ten Commandments need improvement.

But please—listen for a moment.

Golf was dreamt up by the Scots or the Vikings or the Dutch sometime too long ago to remember. Invented by men who could not break 120 on their best day, these blokes were so bored that they decided to tromp around in the long grasses and weeds near the sea with their dogs looking for rabbit holes, then knock beach pebbles into those holes with their walking sticks. These same unhappy men then decided to make “rules.” And keep score. The rest is history.

But what if golf’s creators got it all wrong?
