Have Some Fun with Golf Channel’s “Relaxed Rules”

One of the most intimidating things about golf, especially for new players, is its strict rules. That’s why Golf Channel has launched a campaign to encourage golfers to consider a different, more relaxed, unofficial set of rules.

“When there’s nothing on the line but fun, recreational golf should be an enjoyable experience,” says Morning Drive co-host Charlie Rymer, who’s spearheading the campaign, which launched in 2014, with his colleague Matt Ginella. “Trying to remember and decipher the official rules can get in the way of a good time.”

The seven Relaxed Rules are:

1. MAXIMUM SCORE: The maximum score you can take on any hole is double par (that’s a 6 on par 3s, 8 on par 4s or 10 on a par 5). Once you reach double par, just pick up and move on to the next hole.

2. PENALTIES: All penalties are one stroke, including if you end up out of bounds, in water and lateral hazards, have a lost ball and an unplayable lie. Simply drop a ball near where the original was lost and play on.

3. SEARCH TIME: Take no more than two minutes to look for your ball. If it’s lost, just proceed under Rule 2.

4. UNFORTUNATE LIES: With your playing partners’ consent, your ball may be dropped out of divots or footprints, and away from tree roots and any other dangerous lies, without penalty.

5. CONCEDED PUTTS: Putts may be conceded with your playing partners’ consent.

6. EQUIPMENT: There are no restrictions to your equipment, including the number of clubs you want to carry in your bag.

7. COMMON SENSE: When in doubt, use common sense and fairness.

(We especially like No. 7.)

This putter is SWEEEET!

{ Available at Golf4Her }

Ladies, this putter is made for your game.

Sweet Spot Golf has designed and engineered a unique, well-crafted and evenly weighted putter for women. It's built with precision that allows golfers to find their line and sink putts with style. The new "Think Pink" putter combines design, style and color while delivering uncompromised performance.

Specs:
- Shaft length: 32, 33, 34, 35 inches
- Weight: 362 grams +/- depends on shaft length
- Face width: 4"
- Face height: 1"
- Face depth: 3.5" 
- Face has Pink Poly Insert Face is 3 degrees
- Grips: Winn Grips w/ a pink ribbon
- Available in Black with Pink accents or White with Pink accents

Traditional putters for the average golfer can be difficult to control at times. That's why the face-balanced mallets like the Think Pink putter promote straight back and straight through stroke to minimize the effects of mis-hits. The Think Pink putter has a tri-angular club shape that promotes a center of gravity back (CGB) resulting in a high Moment of Interia (MOI) and more stable club face upon impact (forgiveness of off-center hits).

Details:

• Performance Positioning System (PPS)-original design of arrow shape to the clubface sweet spot was conceived to give ease of alignment every time
• Higher Moment of Inertia (MOI) - putter has a wide face (4") and a heel and toe (perimeter) weighting system promoting a high MOI by dispersing weight away from center of instrument- additional weights are available upon request
• Feel- the putter has a weighty feel (362 gms) which supports a straighter and smoother stroke
• Top Spin Ball Roll is promoted by a higher center of gravity
• Unique color design carries through and is integrated into the aiming process
• Beveled front and back for easy of stroke control around the fringe of the green
