It's interesting. I didn't take a count, but it looks like half are for following the rules and half aren't. What a facemask had to do with this is beyond me.

I respect golf courses, even though I am not a consistent player. I was more annoyed at the people driving on the fairway, since it had just poured all afternoon. I used to work part-time, at a country club golf course as a starter-ranger. We could golf for free, plus they paid us. Most of the time we golfed after hours, because employees were allowed, and that was generally the only time available, since we started people off on the first and the ninth at the same time. One evening I saw a group of young "college students" on the 18th (most likely grand kids of some of the homeowners. They were drinking and riding their carts in circles, so I started to drive toward them, and they high tailed it out of their fast, so I went back to my 4 some and we continued playing. When we got to the 18th green, we discovered they had put a beer can in the hole and then put the flag through the top of the can.

I never played with Jack, but I have played with god. He cheats though. One time he had a squirrel pick up his ball and drop it in the hole. On another occasion, an eagle swooped down, picked up his ball and dropped it right next to the flag.
