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

        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
