fnufan thank goodness....this is just an opn so take it fwiw, but I think the usga is going to be doing this for years upon years, that is revise rules that are too complicated and mandate penalties for infractions for things that were never the intent of the rule to penalize...vs. simply using common sense....for crissakes, the usga referenced the Waldorf incident in their notes with a pic as an example of an infraction of the rule.
