It's About Damn Time
Rules Experts Trying to Simplify the Complex Game of Golf
NEW YORK (AP) -- For the last five years, the top rules experts in golf have come together from around the world to study a jigsaw puzzle.
That's what Thomas Pagel of the USGA refers to as the book more commonly known as the Rules of Golf.
The purpose of these private meetings essentially is to break up the puzzle and start over so the rules make more sense, without losing sight of the tradition or ethos of a game with six centuries behind it. Sessions can last at least eight hours. The singular goal is to make the rules less complicated.
It has not been easy.

Socal Seafood Hot Spots
Holy Mackerel, L.A. Is Home to a Ton of Awesome Fishmongers
Santa Monica Seafood: The fresh and expected one-stop shop
This Westside staple comes complete with all your basic seafood needs. Beautiful fresh local and imported fish include salmon in its various varieties, swordfish, monkfish, all the tunas, varieties of sole, live lobster and crab, as well as a selection of oysters, clams, mussels and whole fish ranging from snapper to sea bass. While the most exotic fresh seafood you'll likely find at Santa Monica Seafood are Santa Barbara spot prawns, soft shell crab or eel, when in season, they do have a bit more of a frozen selection, where you can find things like frozen octopus or langoustines. The beauty of Santa Monica Seafood isn't that it's providing anything overly exotic, but it always has all the basics covered and then some — and you can be sure the quality of the fish will be good. On your way out, you can pick up wine, cheese and basically anything else you need to complete dinner from the produce section. And if you're too hungry to cook, there's even a pretty solid little cafe inside where you can feast on cioppino, ahi tuna sliders, crabcakes, fish and chips and local oysters. Hit up the bar on weekday afternoons for the delicious, freshly shucked oyster happy hour.
1000 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica; (310) 393-5244, santamonicaseafood.com.
Mitsuwa Market: The sashimi-grade and Japanese fish product stop
This Japanese chain market has locations throughout Southern California and is the perfect stop if you're looking for sushi-grade seafood and beyond. Whether you're looking to get your hands on some chu-toro Japanese sanma or saba mackerel or need to find some really good katsuobushi or kombu, Mitsuwa has all the Japanese varieties and cuts of fish to complete any recipe, at pretty affordable prices.
Various locations; mitsuwa.com.
99 Ranch Market: The wild card
This Chinese chain market has a pretty thorough selection of fish and seafood, both live and on ice, but you don't always know what it's going to have. You can almost always rely on a a pretty solid selection of perch and cod, and an ample sampling of fish you've possibly never heard of, so if you're looking for something exotic, like scorpion fish, and you've tried everywhere else, you'll probably hit the jackpot here. But that said, the selection can be hit-and-miss in terms of what you're getting (and occasionally quality), but what's missing in uncertainty is made up for in prices: Everything's pretty damn affordable.
