August 1, 200719 yr I haven't gotten out much the past couple years, but at the places I have gone, it's always the 90 degrees rule. I would just think that the constant grind of the carts on the fairway would take it's toll. I'd rather the rough get worn down than the fairways. As for the rule, I don't mind it at all. It was just the first time I had ever heard of it. A lot of courses around here are bermuda, and bermuda can withstand the traffic of having a cart on it and such. Not all the bentgrass courses will do that, but the thing about having them on the fairways is that most courses do not have irrigation in the rough. They can turn on the heads in the fairways and keep them in good shape, but with the drought we are in right now and the constant traffic of carts really wears the rough down. They want to keep their rough in good shape and not have it get brown and present a visual problem on the golf course. You really cant blame them can you?
