Obama's plans change the rules of golf

THE USGA WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL GOLFERS_*** *
> * *
> *There is a possibility of MAJOR rule changes to the game of golf, *
> *this may occur after November 4.*
> *This is only a preview as the complete rule book is being written now. *
> * *
> *Here are a couple of basic changes. *
> *Golfers with handicaps:*
> *- below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35% *
> *- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees*
> *- above 18 will play for free and even get a check from the club/course
> played.*
> * *
> *The dollar amount put in for bets will be as follows:*
> *-for handicaps below 10 an additional $10*
> *-between 11 and 18 no additional amount*
> *-above 18 you will receive the total amount in the pot and you do not
> even have to play.*
> * *
> *The term "gimme putt" will be changed to "entitlement"*
> *and will be used as follows:*
> *-handicaps below 10, no entitlements*
> *-handicaps above 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts*
> *-handicaps above 18, if on green, no need to ever putt, just pick it up*
> * *
> *These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness in scoring so
> that the final scores of all players will be about the same.*
> * *
> *In addition, a Player will be limited to a max of one birdie and/or six
> pars, any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet
> scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or
> par from the player making the birdie or par, can that Player begin to
> count his score again. *
> * *
> *The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes
> but the term "net score" will be available only for scoring those
> players with handicaps 18 and above. This is intended to "redistribute"
> the success of winning by making sure that in every competition the
> above 18 handicap players will post only "net score" against every other
> player's gross score.*
> * *
> *These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf. Golf must be
> about Fairness Only, it should have nothing to do with Ability.*
