'Rules under the spotlight' provides a forum for those who have an interest in the Rules of Golf but do not necessarily share, or wish to be encumbered by, the conventional wisdom as to how the game should be played. It also provides a platform for those not overjoyed with the way in which the Rules are being managed.
A prime objective of this site is to identify, discuss and (where possible) suggest solutions for problem areas in the Rules; of which there are many.
On this site the ‘powers-that-be’ will be referred to as The Castle and those who inhabit it as the Castle Dwellers (or simply CDs).
Site rules are that comment is
open and encouraged but the boss machine in the back room will simply vaporize
into oblivion any contribution which:
·
Is too verbose;
·
Expresses opinion not thought-through or not
soundly based upon reference to the Rule Book;
·
Contains crude or unseemly language (though when
it comes to the current Rules of Golf this is difficult to resist);
·
Attacks individuals rather than sticking to the
issue and the point; or
·
Breaches any other rule of ethics which the boss
machine finds unacceptable from time-to-time.

Nice site Rog, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stevo, much appreciated.
Deletewhere is your complete profile?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon, thanks for your interest.
DeleteI understand your question, and your drawing attention to the words ‘View my complete profile’. I also understand the frustration of finding that there is no more information available than is contained in the thumbnail. I did try to remove these words but am now taking further advice on how this might be achieved.
To reiterate the philosophy of this site:
All views are of equal value and are to be judged solely on the basis of the strength of argument and sustainability of conclusions. There will be no falling into the logical fallacy of ‘appealing to authority’.
It could be argued that there is no need for, or value in, knowing anything about Rog. The thumbnail is on the site for possible interest only and is not an attempt to substantiate any degree of superior knowledge or authority.
Thanks again for drawing this problem to my attention.
