Sorry for the confusion everyone - hard to provide the context.
1) My family and I are going out of town for the Memorial Day weekend holiday and we're leaving Thursday and won't be around Friday-Sunday, so I didn't think I'd be able to play this week's tour event;
2) But I was considering whether I could get it in Sunday or something (from a hotel). I told Jared I probably wasn't going to play, but I'd mark for him.
3) Since I wasn't planning on playing, I considered just playing the conditions with a driver, but to make it more interesting I took it out - that's all he was remarking on.
Thanks everyone, I apologize for the confusion, just a simple misunderstanding. Don't think he was implying that I or anyone else wasn't following the Tour conditions - just noting that in the case where I wanted to enter my scores, I was playing the same conditions as him (since I had briefly considered not to).
