My favorite still has to be that if your ball embeds itself in a piece of fruit on the course, you must either play it as it lies or take an unplayable penalty.

Seriously? I had no idea this was a rule. No doubt there are plenty of others I'm unaware of. But then, since I do not play competitively (at least in a formal manner), myself and the others I play with don't bother ourselves too much with the lesser know rules.
fixyurdivot
Well, at least you can now legally remove loose impediments; e.g., rocks trigs, etc from bunkers. Our bunkers tend to have little rocks that show up after a wind storm that blows out some sand. I always removed them anyway, so nothing new for me!!
Kenny B
Hopefully our upcoming meetup group is cool with my modified rule set . In Yuma, some of the bunkers, particularly at Las Barancas are hard packed sand. They are not lateral hazards or OB and you can play from them (well, supposed to technically). We allow use of a tee or a free drop behind point of entry.
fixyurdivot
The rule that I, and anyone I play with, that is disregarded is the ball in a fairway divot. We always just move the ball out of the divot. None of us keep a legit handicap or compete, so................

To date this year I have found two drivers separated from their heads on the same golf course. Both were Knock-offs w/ graphite shafts, and they were clean breaks. Finding them kinda of got me worried but I was golfing at the time so I did not take notes...but I recall one was a Titleist Knock-off (counterfit).

OldDave
Funny you should mention breaking. I was a local Practice Tee, using my G15 7 iron. They are about 3 years old. Never an issue. Took a clean hit and the club head broke at the hosel. I will be taking the shaft and club head to Pings Phoenix facility next week to get their opinion.

clubs rattling around in golf bag and being ridden around in golf carts can slowly chip away at the clubs next to them- generally at the hosel, especially graphite. We have probably all seen a bag of clubs fall over or worse as a joke off the back of the cart this usually starts a fracture of dent in the steel shaft.
Barnyard
I have been playing the G15 with graphite shafts for two years now and broke the 6, 7 and 8 iron. There has been no abuse and Ping has always replaced the shaft free of charge. The last time they told me that they will no longer replace them for me and advised me to get re fitted. It is getting a bit frustrating and I do have to pay shipping.
