Too Many Rules?

Hello. Read Brian Hewitt's column at http://http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15100&dv=2488990&select=19009&select2=0 regarding David Toms' comments about Augusta. If he had one thing to change, it would to lessen the number of rules. There are apparently a lot of rules at Augusta that from an outsider's perspective seem tough to explain.
How many "rules" are there in golf that can be broken? Phil Mickelson broke one of those rules last week when he used 2 drivers in his bag. Two drivers? Some people wondered what he was doing. Why have a "hook" driver and a "fade" driver? Why not just swing differently, like the instruction "rules" tell you?
Of course, now everyone's saying it was brilliant Phil forgot this "rule" and won the championship. Brilliant in this case is lateral thinking disguised. Or thinking outside the box. How many more players are going to start doing this, especially with the US Open around the corner? I wouldn't be surprised to see 25%+ using two drivers at Winged Foot.
My daughter asked us this morning if she could do her cystic fibrosis masks in front of the upstairs TV, where she would be away from her brother, who stops eating at the sight of the electronic babysitter. I thought it was a great idea, but my wife didn't. I told my daughter that just because your idea gets rejected doesn't mean it's bad. We worked out a modification of her idea so she can now do her masks upstairs. Everyone's happy. It's a win-win. And hopefully my daughter learned how to problem-solve.
I've remembered today that golf and life are 90% mental. It's a good day.
