That's fair enough for me - particularly if you have rule book with you (as recommended) and you apply your minds to the situation. Too often one ends up with locker room lawyers who attempt to stamp their authority on players on the course and then have to resort to "Decisions on the Rule of Golf" after the game to attempt to justify some obscure interpretation. This does nothing for enjoyment.
My view on divots - life's a beach - develop the skills to deal with them and get on with it. There is
nothing as rewarding as the look on your opponents face when you've stiffed it from 100 metres out of a divot.
