Fore please! Running Masters thread

My question is this. If D.A. Points makes that illegal drop in the same situation, what would his penalty be right now? The same? Worse?

Fred Ridley says they would do the same for any player.

The whole pace of play issue is one that the various tours really need to address. If players get in the habit of playing quicker, they will adjust (like they do to everything else) and life will go on just fine.

It should not take 5 hours or more to play 18 holes of competitive golf, anymore than it should take four hours to play a nine-inning baseball game.

Never? You haven't been paying attention.

1. 2,000 pound loose impediment in Phoenix.

2. Stevie Williams steps on his ball at the PGA, claims it was a fan, TW gets a drop from an embedded lie and makes the cut on the number.

3. Hits a ball into the crowd and high grass in Charlotte that no one can find, claims a fan picked it up (which NO ONE saw) gets a free drop and avoids penalty.

I don't give a shirt who he bangs.

You can say all those situations were correct, i guess. But they were certainly in question. I absolutely believe Stevie lied about the ball stepping thing. To say no one has ever questioned his on course ethics is false.

1 - well within the rules. Actually pretty smart to think about trying it.
2 - conspiracy theory based on your biased opinion and no facts
3- conspiracy theory based on your opinion with no facts

Careful, you might cut your tongue on Tiger's spikes.

Doesn't change the fact that Rhody is right.

Would it really be that difficult to have someone walking with each group with a rule book and a cell phone to confer with a tournament official if there is a question about a ruling?

Does Tim Finchem want to hire 50 people to work as rules officials every week? Probably not.

Tim Finchem wouldn't be paying them. All the PGA has to do is tell each tour stop that if they want to remain a tour stop they'll have to pay for the officials.

As for the majors, none of them are PGA events to that's not PGA's problem.

PGA Tour, not PGA

PGA is shorthand for the PGA of America, which runs the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. Based in Palm Beach Gardens. This is been the case since 1968.

Try to keep up.

If he DQs himself, he doesn't get paid for the week. No golfer is going to do that.

Going back and reading some of the Masters thread that I missed out on......

Do you really think that Tiger Woods would not DQ himself from The Masters because he wouldn't get a check?

Clueless, you are.

 

[dog eat dog world]

Tiger took roids. Cheating is well, second nature to him. In private and professional life.

 

[Chef2]

Tiger took roids.

One would assume you have proof to back this up.

He needs tip money.

Feel free to offer proof. He's never failed a Tour drug test and he was the first player to openly campaign for testing.

Lol, you know who else never failed and was in favor of stringent testing? Lance Armstrong. You probably believed he was clean as well. I have no idea if he did or didn't, dont care either way but there are plenty of reasons to believe that he has. Body, personality and that Doctor he just happened to be linked to. But hey, he has never tested positive so he mst be clean.

When will people stop using passed drug tests and being a proponent of testing as a defense an athletes clean?

Well, if you know the details, knock yourself out and write it. You'd have a story that beats Lance.

I'll be waiting ...

Is anyone surprised by Stevie's stance?
