Jack: “Probably the whole book of the rules of golf should be changed."
/I tuned in for a bit but missed Jack Nicklaus joining Morning Drive's Erik Kuselias and Gary Williams via phone for Wednesday morning. Thankfully, the Golf Channel PR folks sent out a few highlights, including this response to an email question about any rules of golf he would like to see changed:
“Probably the whole book of the rules of golf should be changed. If you try to figure it out, it should be common sense, yet common sense never seems to prevail. A USGA rules official said that it was much more difficult to pass the test to be a rules official than it was to pass the bar exam. There’s no reason for that. The game should be simple. People should be able to understand the rules and the rules should be common sense.”
