Is it time for the PGA to add some tennis rules for the pros?

There already are these rules in place however they're not punishable by stroke penalties. The difference is that the PGA Tour has a long-standing policy to not make these announcements public; however Tim Finchem (PGA Tour commissioner) can and will suspend players for conduct detrimental (John Daly has been clipped on several occasions for this).

However...it's a fact that Woods is the most-fined player in PGA Tour history given the number of times he's sworn audibly on a broadcast (and he can expect a phone call/letter from Tim Finchem over Saturday's latest temper tantrum).

One other consideration- the rules of golf are not written by the PGA Tour. They are written by the USGA and the R&A.

If the PGA Tour were to add a "condition of competition" local rule, the PGA Tour policy board would have to vote on the measure (made up of rank and file PGA Tour members).

On the face of it, it sounds like a good idea and while both sports have the same elitist background there are too many differences to make it really work, IMO. Let's say Nadal smashes his racket in a first round match and Tiger does the same thing to his driver in the first round. Nadal gets to replace his racket, Tiger doesn't get to replace his driver until the round is complete. Nadal gets penalized a point for breaking his racket and Tiger gets a one shot penalty for breaking the shaft in his driver. As soon as THAT game is over, Nadal's penalty is gone. A conduct penalty might cost a tennis player a game, but anything beyond that is because the other guy played better. I'd be in favor of something like that in a match play tournament, but not in a stroke play tournament. I think fines for lack of professional conduct, meaningful fines and announced like every other sport, would curtail the problem and be a more equitable solution.

Ummm, lets just stick with not having to imagine Federer and Nadal never became pros. LOL

I say quit being a *****. Honestly, who cares? People like you make so many rules in sports that it makes it retarded. Its about level of skill not who can hold their emotions the best. Hockey allows fighting to take place so who cares if a player throws a club?

sounds great .

but it needs a long time to complete it .

anyway , the old rule has no big problem .

it might be more interesting with this new rule/
