Falls Men’s Club — Saturday Morning “Local Rules” (not quite..)

Tee time is before sunrise. Complaining starts at 6:12.

  1. If you’re late, you’re the cart driver and emotional support guy for the day.
  2. No swing tips before 8:00 a.m. We’re awake, not coachable.
  3. Breakfast ball is allowed — but you must announce it like a confession.
  4. Mulligans are illegal unless everyone agrees that the bounce was criminal.
  5. Any putt inside “grumpy range” is a gimme, as defined by the oldest man present.
  6. Lip-outs count as half a stroke because they hurt twice as much.
  7. Tree-to-fairway is course management, not luck.
  8. “I usually hit this club” is not evidence. It’s comedy.
  9. If you say “watch this,” you own whatever happens next.
  10. Slow play is a sin. Three practice swings to hit it 40 yards is a felony.
  11. Lost ball search time is one minute. We have places to be.
  12. Talking during a backswing is forbidden unless it’s a proper jinx.
  13. If you ask for silence and then blade it, you must apologize to the entire sport.
  14. If you win by one, you must mention it until next Saturday. Minimum.
