shocker.

Eh, he is done. He should have retired. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 09:16
That rule is one that I don't get completely. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:55 2
- ignoring whatever is in the rule book and just look at the distance between where he put the ball and where the last shot was - stewie Apr 13, 06:58 1
  - I agree with your IM line...i think they need to put a number on the "Close as possible" becuase if you're choosing to drop there - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:01
The Golf Channel guy with the great hair and 3 piece suit absolutely hammering Tiger. Sorry, not sure of his name. -- nm - Zunk Xometimes Apr 13, 06:42 34
- Charles Barkley. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 07:51
- i don't see how you can have a penalty assessed without being DQd for signing a wrong card - charlie Apr 13, 06:54 32
  - "...a player can have penalty strokes added afterward when facts were not reasonably presented at the time of scorecard signing." -- (link) - Mop Apr 13, 07:54 3
    - yeah, that's the new escape hatch for the Dustin Johnson situation where the player had no reason to know he was violating the rules. Tiger had every - charlie Apr 13, 07:57 2
      - They can call it the "Tiger Woods Rule", but whatever it is, it's the rule. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 07:58 1
        
        it's being misapplied -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 08:00
  - this -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 06:56
  - THey changed a rule last year after someone got dinged in a tourney (someone big iirc) where if you get penalized - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:56 26
    - it was Dustin Johnson supposedly not knowing he was in a bunker at the PGA i think. this isn't even the same kind of situation -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 06:58 25
      - Well, that there was 100% horseshit. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:02 24
        
        except it doesn't make it any less of a violation just because someone notices it after the card is signed -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:04 23
        
        it's unfair to hold the players on tv to a higher officiating standard than the others -- nm - stewie Apr 13, 07:07 11
        
        they're not. he should be DQd if he did the same thing in a local country club tourney. a violation is a violation -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:10 10
        
        by the others I mean the guys in the same tournament that don't matter enough to be on tv and have their video scrutinized - stewie Apr 13, 07:16
        
        IF it was noted while he was playing...yep. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:14 8
        
        nope. -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:15 7
        
        I"m just going on the words on my tv saying that if the player could not have reasonably known or was aware of the penalty, he would be given 2 stroke - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:18 6
        
        You are a professional player. How do you not know the rules? -- nm - Valar Morghulis Apr 13, 07:23 4
        
        There are hundreds of rules with overlap. Things happen. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:29 3
        
        Yup. The gold rule book is massive. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:31 2
        
        *golf* -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:31 1
        
        it's not. it's pretty thin actually -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:34
        
        i understand the exception. i'm just saying it's bullshit -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:20
        
        There is a rules official with every group. If the player doesn't get notified of a potential violation, how the hell is it fair he be DQ'ed for some - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:05 10
        
        Yes we mush forgive the #1 player in the world for not knowing the rules of his own sport. You are pretty f'n lazy if you can't read a rule book. -- nm - Valar Morghulis Apr 13, 07:15 9
        
        There are thousands of rules and it's not easy to know them all. Shit, even umpires and refs get rules wrong and that's their only job. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:32 8
        
        this is not obscure. this is a basic rule. but even if it wasn't, it doesn't matter -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:33 7
        
        It's crap. If they don't catch it when it happens it's too bad and the golfer gets to keep the error. Complete crap that fans can call in after the - Krusty Apr 13, 07:40 6
        
        The fan called in before the round was over. The penalty was only applied after Tiger's interview -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 07:46
        
        that's not what happened here. he violated a rule that he knew or should have known -- nm - charlie Apr 13, 07:41 4
        
        It is what happened. He wasn't penalized until the watched video after he was sitting home. What sport does that? What sport goes back to the tape - Krusty Apr 13, 07:46 3
        
        I stand sort of corrected. They were fine with the drop after watching the video and only penalized him after his statement about the drop. - Krusty Apr 13, 07:49 2
        
        it will be awesome going forward when tiger uses NO COMMENT for every interview. PGA can reap what they sow -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 07:57 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:59
What a stupid! -- nm - Roberto Di Vincenzo Apr 13, 06:40
I'd have loved to seen the chaos that would break out if he was disqualified -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 06:39 1
- I was thinking this.. -- nm - Jammed Uzi Apr 13, 06:39
The masters doesn't fuck around. They nailed THE feel good player of this year with a fucking slow play penalty -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 06:37 3
- assessing the first slow play penalty in 77 years to a 14 year old foreigner seems like the definition of fucking around -- nm - stewie Apr 13, 06:41 1
  - heh -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 06:51
- this sums it up nicely -- (link) - Beaker Apr 13, 06:38
