A recent Golf Online survey reported that only 23% of golfers admit to strictly following USGA rules. Why so few? Because adhering to the USGA Rules Of Golf produce a frustrating, unsatisfactory experience for the vast majority of golfers.
Golf is a difficult game, even for professionals. Made even more so for recreational golfers by the unforgiving, arbitrary and burdensome rules and mandates set by the USGA.
No one is more passionate about the great game of golf than recreational golfers. But for them the rules of golf are clearly out of step and, understandably, generally not followed.
SortaGolf provides an alternative solution and an updated common rules format all can follow. These (7) rules amendments (see tab above) greatly enhance satisfaction for the recreational golfer, while maintaining competitive integrity and the essential essence of the game.

My favorite response to "You may be playing some game, but it is not golf", is, "As I was driving here, I saw four 6' 8" very muscular guys playing with a big round ball on a court with a basket. They only had two guys per team, no referees and no clock. How about on your way home you tell them they are not playing basketball."
