Further input from R&A....



 Roger and Alan have been at it again just before the start of SCC 2012 'Shorter, Slower, Weaker, Worse' this coming Friday 15th June.  

R&A, Rules and Amateur Status – Governing and Educating Principal Changes 

Introduced into the 2012 Code Rules of Golf 

Definitions

 'Camels (camel, uurrrgghhhhh, or any variation thereof)'
  Camels are whereby a group of two of more golfers try to complete a round of golf by going in as many bunkers as possible then hoping that they wont be the last person to enter a bunker during the round. The fine for any entry into a bunker is 20p, steadily increasing in this multiple as the fellow golfers enter bunkers during their round of shoddy tee shots/chips/knobs of the fairway. If the player is scabby enough to get up and down from the bunker they entered then the running total is passed back to the last person to enter a bunker. To clarify that if only one golfer is hilariously enough the only person to enter a bunkers during the whole round then the fine sticks with that player. It is encouraged for all golfers to aim for bunkers on the 18th hole and not to 'girl-out' by aiming straight for the green, but this is up to the individual female in question (Nick).

 Rules 

 Rule 18-2b. 
Ball Moving After Address 
 A new Exception is added that exonerates the player from penalty if his ball moves after it has been addressed when it is known or virtually certain that he did not cause the ball to move. For example, if it a player has the nose capacity to inflict solid objects to bend during or after a sneeze, if it is this bogey infested gust of wind that moves the ball after it has been addressed, there is no penalty and the ball is played from its new position. Trousers, shirts or shorts of the others player may be changed without penalty due to excess nose gold being deposited on their various parts.

 Rule 27-Massive C. 
Water Proofs, Hand Warmers, Wet Suits.
No player may now wear or use any device designed to prevent the absorption of rain or any other precipitation due the fact that we are not 'little girls' who cry at the first sight of rain. Hail is to be embraced, snow is to be shunned at and wind is to be pissed into in a high arc.'
