My friends and I play by the rules. Even in the Winter - we'll hit out of divots, etc. - if nothing else, it's good practice. I want to walk off the course with an accurate sense of how I really played that round.

I'm sure that this opinion won't surprise most of you, but I never facsimile. I either mark an honest card or I don't bother to keep score. If I keep score, I play by the Rules of Golf. I don't play "winter rules", I don't take gimmes unless it's a conceded putt in match play (I have to modify this by saying that I do play with some friends who will kick a 12" putt back to me, and I'm not going to start a fight or create bad feelings over a tap in). I damn sure don't do mulligans.

I said, "Well, you boys can go play golf. Or else you can make up some other game and go play that, instead." In the game of golf, the ball is played as you find it. -- Harvey Penick upon being asked by his UT golf team about winter rules.
