Sports and Diversion

There is a cool piano suite named " Sports and Diversion " composed by Erik Satie (1866 - 1925 ) in 1914. The title of No. 10 among 21 pieces is " Golf ". I believe golf is one of sports, not diversion. In this sense preferred lie should not be taken, even though it is allowed in local rules. Hit the ball as it is.
When I joined in a golf competition yesterday, the player in the same party exercised his rights to use preferred lie and scored very good results. I did not do it, but I am proud of my sportsmanship.
Athletes are doing their bests in Olympic games everyday. If they could not get medals, they must be satisfied with their best performance. I would like to give them a standing ovation.
Jia-you!!
