This actually dredged up an old memory I hadn't thought of for a long, long time.
Might have been the first tournament I ever played, certainly one of the first, was probably 10 or something. Was well left of a green with only a punch shot available, cart path between me and the hole that has a several inch curb. Naturally hit the curb and the ball comes back at me. Rules official right there and I demand/whine that I should be allowed to replay the shot. He asks why and I state that my ball hit a vertical obstruction, it shouldn't have been there so I should get a do over. (Yes, I used the term "vertical obstruction" at that age. Also used the term "do over")
To his credit, I don't think he laughed. He did tell me I didn't get a do over, I pouted. But perhaps that got me started on the right track of understanding the rules and such.
