I am constantly amazed at how many silly, petty, and anal-retentive rules there are in the game of golf. So why not add a few more? Here are some of my suggestions:

1) A two-stroke penalty for signing your scorecard and forgetting to cross all the ‘t’s and dot all the ‘i’s in your name (those of you who have no ‘t’s or ‘i’s in your name are off the hook on this one).

2) A one-stroke penalty for staring at the green too long.

3) A three-stroke penalty for wearing colors that clash.

4) A one-stroke penalty for every grain of sand that sticks to your shoes when you exit a bunker.

5) A two-stroke penalty for wearing shoes that don’t fit properly.

6) A two-stroke penalty for walking too loudly.

7) A three-stroke penalty for entering the water with your left foot first.

8) A four-stroke penalty for every divot that you create.

9) A one-stroke penalty for every time you sneeze, cough, or yawn.

10) A five-stroke penalty for every time you criticize one of these new rules.

I never had an interest in playing golf, but I may try the game someday

Me neither, David. Probably because some of the rules just seem nonsensical to me.
