It's crazy - you have these heavy electric carts with two riders and two sets of clubs driving all over the place and they disallow a 7 pound pullcart.
I am going to follow up on this dumb rule this week but was astounded. |
Here's a weird one related to pullcarts (trolleys)...
When I played at Royal Melbourne, we played with a local junior champ, some kid with a +1 handicap. He was a great kid, no arrogance and very unassuming nature.
Anyway...i think it was the third green...his approach went over the back. To my amazement, he took the trolley over the putting surface. I said something like "you'd get put away for life if you did that in Scotland.."
He laughed and said yep, local rules were that trolleys could be taken over the greens as they were baked solid and a hammer wouldn't mark them...
Out of curiosity I checked after the round, said i'd seen another group doing it. The starter confirmed that it was allowed.
Weird, these Aussies...!
