| Are you allowed to leave your bag on a golf green? Maybe this is all that is needed. |

really, I was at fault and if I had just stayed behind the thrower it would have been fine. That said, you could be behind the thrower on #3 cf green and have the disc come back at you.
Sounds like, if you put your bag down and no one says anything then you should just leave it there regardless

I hope you didn't think I was laying blame. I'm just trying to think about how this would be resolved on the white ball course. The toughest thing to deal with is the proximity of DG holes to one and another. A lot more of a chance to have an errant disc land on another fairway than a white ball course.
A rule to keep our shite together. I know I leave my bag around the course all the time. |

Wow, I think the pdga has got bigger problems with the game then smoking, beer and smoking. Cant believe that ruling.
This is a 2 stroke penalty if you do this right? This should be a cardinal sin, not....well what does the (usually) laid back group think? |

| the pdga needs to add bags to the rules under equipment, and state thet are to be treated as if it were a person re: rules. |

I believe it is against the rules for a ball golf bag to ever be on the green. Also, if a player in ball golf hits another players bag there is no penalty but if he hits his own then there is a penalty. And just to be perfectly clear....I would never have ruled that shane interfered with the flight path by moving it. Just wanted to point out some ambiguity in the rules |

You aren't even allowed to walk on the green while carrying a bag. Any course super will tear you a new one for doing it.

Fawk, you don't need to look to far to find them. It's always been my gripe. The "rules authorities" of the dg world do nothing for the rules with wishy-washy half thought out stances on what are really important rules clarifications, or by pointing at a rules ambiguity and just saying, "well, the group needs to decide."

| After taking a soccer ref course, about 1/2 way through the course, I realised the PDGA rules of DG are not set up well. They should also have a video(if they dont), about how to use the rules. |

Aaahhhhh.
You've now read at least one sports rules set, and having taken a sanctioned course, you've been exposed to a "case book" (i.e. the video) that details proper interpretation of those rules.
You now understand it is actually possible to define the rules. You know how they can be made clear and concise, and to cover virtually all foreseeable circumstances that might arise during the course of a game / round / match.

Thumber, would you have left your bag in the same spot in a tournament? Would anyone just leave their bag around during a tournament? Maybe this is why there isn't a specific rule about this.
In a casual round, I would hope that Thumber would move his bag, because it's funny to move it out of the way. And really, in a casual round, would Lissy really try to stroke Thumber for moving or not moving the bag? |

It was actually an OMPL match, so somewhat official
I didn't just leave the bag anywhere. I was standing right beside it. I would never just leave my bag and walk away from it if there was a chance it would be hit. Really, I assumed Mark was going to make the putt. It was within range.
I had a split second to decide what to do and all i could think was "Get the bag and let it roll"
my only mistake was being downhill of someone putting. Minor courtesy violation at best.
Interesting discussion though.

My two cents:
It's sometimes hard to properly interpret the rules because our casual golf habits create an infinite number of scenarios.
The spirit of the rule is that in competitive play your gear should not be on my playing surface any more than you should be in my line of sight. Any deviation from this idea is casual golf.
If Atos was putting on a pro card, there would be nobody or anything in his line of vision/field of play. If something like this scenario did happen, it would likely be because the card had a good groove and some casual golf elements had been allowed by the group ( if everyone agrees it can sometimes be helpful).
That said, picking up th bag would be a no brainer because it would be understood that this allowance for casual play had backfired. Hence the penalty.
To suggest that a putter can survey his playing field and accept new foreign obstacles on the playing field doesn't hold water. If it were the case, a group of buddies could line their bags up against an ob line...

Triple up the line for CS,
The fact is leaving the bag creates an advantage others dont get once your on the next hole. Its manipulating the course on purpose, |

I would certainly call someone out if i thought they were deliberately placing their bag in order to aid themselves or another competitor. That is flat out cheating and should earn a person a DQ
