Description
I chuckled to myself. I had the game in the bag. There was no way my opponent would score a hole in one. "Whack!", the ball went soaring but landed just short of the hole. Then a little crab scuttled onto the field and knocked the ball in costing me the game.

"That isn't fair!" I shouted.
"And why not?" my opponent asked smugly.
"Well for one thing, if it wasn't November when the stupid crabs migrate, you wouldn't have gotten a hole in one. I'm not playing a crab, I'm playing a person," I paused and spoke again, "Your skill didn't knock the ball in." I finished.
"And?" my opponent asked. It was obvious I was going to have to give another reason.

"Well in standard and pro golf matches, the obstacles don't move. This bright red crustacean is moving. Real obstacles like sand, water, and trees don't move. A crab is a moving hazard and the rules in golf say nothing of a moving hazard being allowed." I said trying to prove a point. My opponent just looked at me like I was stupid. "Must I give yet another reason?" I asked annoyed.
"Yep, that would be good." he replied.

I sighed. "In golf games when a ball comes to a stop it must be played where it lands. So if the ball stops and then is moved by say, the wind it doesn't count. In this case this four and a half inch crab is the wind. Therefore, when the ball stops but is moved by a crab, it should be placed where it was before it was moved."
"How about this, let's come back when the crabs aren't migrating say in, June and have a rematch." my opponent suggested, aggravated by my reasoning.
"That would be just dandy." I sighed contently, "You're gonna lose though." I smiled.
"Oh you're on." My opponent replied competitively.
