Hello Sott staff and readers.
I was not sure how to broach this subject, i'm still not certain if i am doing the correct thing, forgive me if i'm mistaken about all this but....This is not about golf.
It all began after an incident that occured to me during a match.
I played golf in the 70's for a few years, i stopped playing and took the game back up 2 years ago. In the time i stopped playing a Rule which had been in the game for over 250 years had changed, the odd thing is no Rule had changed at all.
I won't bore you with the indepth details but what has happened is this. Prior to 1952, America and Scotland had their own sets of rules.
In scotland if your ball was in an area of ground that had been marked as "ground under repair" you must lift your ball and drop it on a part of the course that the rules allowed.
In AMerica for the same piece of ground you had the choice to play it or pick it up and drop it elsewhere.
When in 1952 America(USGA) and Scotland(R&A) combined their rules to one set of rules somebody had to give way, THe USGA lost and the rule stayed the same as THe Scotts had played for the previous 200 years. http://www.ruleshistory.com/rules1952.html THere has been no published rule change regarding this rule to the present date.
So how did the rule come to change, well around 1982 the code came with some amended rules, there also was contained some notes (not rules) and some examples of specimen local rules. The rule that concerns me had not been changed at all, yet during a match my opponent thought otherwise. Much debate ensued after the match, eventually i ended up at the tip of all golfing rule knowledge, frequented by all the top judges, i mean referees http://www.leithsociety.com/
I asked some questions and was blocked from posting again. I had not been abusive to anybody and i respected others views.
I must add at this point that it was perhaps six months since i visited http://www.ruleshistory.com and i can see now he has removed all the old rules from the USA, also the rules around the 80's have been edited to suit their needs.
Now lets get started.

"The Code"
Here is the opening page of The Code, http://turf.lib.msu.edu/1920s/1921/2102TC.pdf is that rockerfeller and van?
I have enough saved, so if they shut that site it won't do them much good.
The month after 9/11 the Code has a title within..... "The perfect Lie"
