I don't acknowledge that the usga and r&a are more knowlegable than me, I acknowledge that they write the rules of the game which I play by. My objections are irrelevant.

Voice of change has to start somewhere whether you approve or not or nomatter what my opinion may be as well. That's all I'm saying. I believe we had discussed the unidentified ball in a bunker before as well and it was generally looked upon by most that since they don't penalize a person then it shouldn't matter but they changed it anyway. Probably the reasoning was to speed up play was one of the main concerns but I'm only guessing on that. The divot in the fairway might and could be looked upon in the same light. It would expedite play. OB, make it a two stroke penalty and no distance loss. Speed up play as well. Just thoughts but all could merit some consideration and who knows someday they may be a rule as well.
