Learn game's rules or pay a heavy price

» Not knowing the basic rules of golf will hurt you sooner or later. I learnt the hard way when playing in a tournament on a rainy, very wet, day after finding my drive stuck in the fairway, and being young, naive and uneducated on the rules, I tried to play it -- only to realise later that I was entitled to a free drop. After an almighty swipe I managed to move the ball down the fairway but ultimately it cost me a bogey as opposed to an easy par or birdie chance. Although this experience cost me a stroke and money the real pain came from the considerable embarrassment I felt of not understanding the rules of a game I was playing for a living. How stupid and thick I felt, and this wonderful example of being a complete moron I wish to share, so nobody else has to go through the indignation of total stupidity. It still haunts me when I recall this failing to comprehend a basic rule.
