game of golf one would hope it's not evil for cheating. This is despite the tongue-in-cheek joke that suggests that only three ways to improve your game to the lessons, exercises more -. or start cheating
In more than 50 years playing golf I have not found the perpetrators. Everything to gain advantage is the result of ignorance of the Rules, but a deliberate attempt to get away with the wrong offense.
to illustrate the point, it seems that the rule that the three options available for an unplayable lie still eludes many golfers who have played the game for years. Their view of the nearest point of relief for the free fall defies belief.
unwittingly breaking the rules must nevertheless be kept in perspective. Social golfer does not play for big stakes or sheep station in Australian speech. Decisions, some right, some wrong, made off-the-cuff to the mobile game.
This is because every golfer who plays in a private club knows that the ultimate sin in golf (except for 'bending the rules "to suit) should be labeled a slow player. It is a social stigma that is not used much in the public courses where all semblance of track with the group in front conscientiously ignore.
According to Dr. Gregg Steinberg, sport psychology consultant for the United States Golf Teachers Federation, "People who believe that the results are a reflection of their self-worth are more likely to cheat ".
He goes on to say that "people who look at golf as a challenge, something you do for fun or as a journey, it is less likely to do so ".
Golf, however, unlike other sports where fraud is a way of playing games. Golfers call penalties on themselves when, for instance, they accidentally catch the sand on the backswing in a bunker, although there are no witnesses.
Recently, JP Hayes I disqualified in the second stage of PGA Q-school when it was discovered that he played a non-conforming ball for two shots.
of the most chronicled the story of cheating, in this case not doing so, the issue of the legendary Bobby Jones. In the 1925 U.S. Open at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts called the penalty on himself in the first round when his ball moved on 11 as he addressed, though no one else has seen it move.
This action cost him a championship as he lost by one shot at Willie MacFarlane in the second 18-hole playoff.
appalled by those who honored him for his act, Jones replied: "To applaud the players for not cheating is like not applaud someone for robbing banks. There is a right way to do things. otherwise do not applies to ".
in other sporting codes are encouraged to deceive the referee and judges, and the attitude is to get away with what you can. In football (soccer) player takes dive feigning injury to another player booked and a free kick awarded.
in the cricket close-in fielders appeal for a catch when you know the batsman has not made contact with the ball. In tennis it would be unusual for a player indicates that the opponent has the ball in court, when called out.
Cyclists are involved in blood doping, field and track athletes using banned substances, and so on. That is the attitude of the corrupt merchant who claims to be giving you incorrect change is a test of your consciousness, not an act of fraud.
Golf can be for the most part perfectly, but it is not immune from the gamesmanship. Some golfers seem to take pleasure in getting into the heads of other golfers, especially when the match-play situation.
gamesmanship It borders on cheating is a moot point. On May does not break the rules, but it may violate the second part of golf, namely sportsmanship.
