BREAKING THE RULES
 Breaking
the Rules: Don’t be a Herman Munster!
As many new golfers arrive on the scene – and I am talking adults – their etiquette and care of the golf course is atrocious. They must believe that the golf course is like a hotel room and the maid will straighten and clean it when they are done. I am here to tell you it isn’t and that you can be disqualified for that behavior. <more>
