1. The designated hitter rule. It is both the first and second dumbest rule in sports. nt

2. At Least It's Fair For Everyone

The last thread you started like this, i brought up the footprint in the sandtrap. At least the guys on TV have a chance to be in a divot, so you, me, and them all have that as a possible disadvantage.

But, those guys are NEVER going to hit from a footprint in the bunker, because the bunkers are ALWAYS raked before they hit into one.

So, that makes the bunker rule WAY stupider.

3. I don't have a problem with that

4. I don't like that either

It can potentially penalize a player for making a good shot. I suppose there can be some subjectivity on what constitutes a divot and golf officials just don't want to go there.

5. How about putting a towel on the ground

so you don't get your knees covered in mud while you try to hit a shot from your knees is a penalty because you are "building a stance".

6. channeling Craig stadler

I saw that. bogus rule.

9. You're SO Right

Building a stance provides an advantage. A towel provides no advantage other than to keep his white pants clean. Another stupid rule.

Along with not being able to fix a spike mark that i didn't make.

10. Instigator rule in hockey.

The number one reason for cheap shots and stick work in the NHL. Let the players police themselves.
