Running 2010 PGA Thread

This would be extreme bullshit if he gets penalized for grounding the club on 18.

 

When I started the day, i was second overall in the Yahoo Fantasy golf league for the week. Not in the sj group -- in all of Yahoo. I still have three of the top four golfers. Thank you Nick Watney for choking like a dog...

 

Golf is a game of honor.

That ruling is a dishonor... to golf and to sport.

 

OK, two of the top four...

 

Not really - after hearing the USGA guy right now give the interview - it was very clear in the rules prior to the championship that there were certain areas and old bunkers outside the ropes which would be treated by the same rules which govern bunkers in terms of relief.

It is a tough break, but it was the correct ruling based on the rules handed out to all the players before the week.

 

Bullshit - if that was Tiger it would have never been called.

 

If that was a Bunker, i'm entitled to the Rockefeller fortune.

 

Correct ruling. A ruling set up by assholes.

Edit: I see that they're set to go back there in 2015. PGA should reconsider it.

 

Jason Sobel made a good point on his live BLOG!, that being that the reason that it's unfair isn't necessarily the 'everything sand is a bunker' rule, but that the only reason anyone saw it was because he was doing it in the last group on Sunday and was thus on TV.

 

The rules official on TV (which I was watching on mute, due to dinner considerations) was the very picture of a midlevel bureaucrat attempting to justify his petty existence -- and failing. He didn't look like a guy confident in the justice of his case, for sure.
