MD is neither north nor south, but I definitely skew southern. Based on my use of the word "y'all", my intolerance for snow, and our general friendliness. Oh, and the accent that sounds like it started out southern, tried to go north, and got stuck. 🤣

I definitely have more in common with southerners that New England. It was honestly a bit of a culture shock; I didn't expect it to be so different in spite of being so close. Definitely feel more similar to VA and NC, and I feel pretty at home in SC.

Except for one or two people needing serious help, northerners by and large, hate cold weather more than you, especially by the time that April arrives. I won't mention any names, but polka dots might be a clue.

You would have gotten yourself in a bit of a conundrum there. First, if you see where it is it is up to you whether or not you want to tell them the location, however once you tell them than they have the dilemma of deciding whether or not to take an unplayable lie or try to hit it from where it landed. First give the golfer the chance to either look for it or declare it a lost ball. But the rule of thumb is at the very least do not touch it. Whatever, happens he/she must decide what the course of action is and it must not be altered in anyway. If he/she comes in looking for it, you can tell him/her where it is, but do not physically move the ball. (At least until after the golfer has made decisions or has moved on without looking for it). If they call it a lost ball they will have to not deduct but add a stroke to their score. Remember, in golf, the lowest score wins.

Of course, nothing will happen to you because you aren't actually playing or competing with it. It would be hard for a non-golfer to make a judgment concerning whether or not it is possible to hit it out of it's location. So, it is better to just wait and see or move along. You have no moral obligation to even acknowledge that you saw it. So you can move on guilt free. It's just a game and not worth further complication. The golf rules are pretty clear and sometimes stupid. That's what makes it fun, except for when it isn't. Just to show you how detailed the rules are watch the following.

Thanks for the explanation and video. Glad I just left the golf ball in the woods where he hit it. Plus, there's no way he could have hit it out of the thick overgrowth there.

@Dead2009 I went to dinner with my coworkers in Boston. My company went all out; some of my coworkers were getting lobster.

Anyway, my one coworker had the following to say:
-"This is so messy!"
-"This is so much work!" (x3)
-"I dislike having to work this much for my food."

Me who has eaten crabs my entire life...

Too funny! Most people I know up here love lobster. (I like crab, too, but it's not as plentiful in this area.)

They wanted it cut open for them. 🤣

I don't really like lobster (too rich; I really only eat it in lobster bisque) but I absolutely would have been eating it on the company's dime if that had been an option. I had like three drinks during the day, which is more than I ordinarily drink, because the company was paying, and I'm not stupid. 🤣

I like Lobster although it might be the butter that I crave. What ruins my appetite for them is the cost. I never had one until Regan was President and he fired all the air traffic controllers in 1981 leaving Maine with Lobster being thrown away because they had no way of shipping them out of state quickly. That was when I decided it was a good time to try them. $5.00 for a complete Lobster Dinner at a place called "Lords" in Wells Beach, Maine. There was a point in time when, again at Wells Beach, McDonalds sold a decent Lobster Roll.

Lords Harborside Restaurant was a no frills seafood restaurant. I suspect that the last time I was there was probably about 2005 and the first time was with my parents circa 1965. After that it was a yearly pilgrimage Vermont to Wells Beach, Maine for at least a weekend. When my youngest daughter was about 1 year old we went there and there was nothing on the menu for a kid that age except Jello. The waitress brought her a big bowl of cherry Jello and then for about a half hour all the staff at one time or the other spent time watching her eat it. When done her whole face was cherry colored. She and they were having a great time. The other memory was that the Hostess was a lady, I assume either the owner or family member, always greeted us at the door. No matter the year or the time of day, there she was every year from 1965 to 2005. (40 years) After a while she greeted us with "so glad to see you back". I know the place was closed completely, but eventually it reopened (I presume under new ownership). But living in NC now it is a pretty long drive just for a seafood dinner.

I loved lobster, crab and shrimp ate it all my life until about age 40 developed a deadly shellfish allergy ---it sucks. Live in coastal SC and would catch shrimp and blue crabs all the time not any more.

I used to love shrimp. Now it triggers awful migraines. No other shellfish; just shrimp. Although I do have to be careful about how much shellfish I eat because too much will cause a stomach ache. Living in Maryland with the crab, you can imagine how this goes...

There is a VW beetle ( aka Lobstermobile ) that drives around Orlando with a gigantic red lobster on top of the roof near the tourist corridor of International Drive. This VW promotes the all u can eat Boston Lobster feast location in Central FL. The lobster is gigantic that covers the roof and the claws obscure part of the windows.. I don’t know how that driver can actually drive safely or actually banned from being in the roads by law enforcement.
