In response to "i don't see how you can have a penalty assessed without being DQd for signing a wrong card" by charlie

THey changed a rule last year after someone got dinged in a tourney (someone big iirc) where if you get penalized

well after the fact, you can edit your card to account for something that wasn't known at the time.

It was a response to some guy getting DQ'ed becuase someone at home noticed a violation and him getting DQ'ed for the zero tolerance violation that he didn't even know about.

Responses:

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
