It would have been unprecedented to call it a penalty for the proximity of the drop until he admitted his actions for the drop. I truly believe that. This could however alter the grey area around rules like this forever.

I wish they'd amend the rule and just say 2 club lengths so guys could go back, mark the spot, stick tees in the ground and drop it. No gray area there.

Wow...real common sense instead of stick up your a$$ priggishness. Good post. I was thinking the same thing earlier. Basically Tiger is getting penalized because he wanted to brag about his distance control. What is the penalty for saying "a couple of yards" When in reality it was barely 2 feet?.....Losing the freakin Masters.

So, wait... Because I'm stating that it would have been better not to penalize him at all, than to penalize him and then not DQ him... And because I am posting the R&A/USGA's actual description of when it is not appropriate to apply the DQ exception rule, I have a stickd up my rectum?


I do not think that phrase means what you think it means. You're a funny guy.

A Committee would not be justified under Rule 33-7 in waiving or modifying the disqualification penalty prescribed in Rule 6-6d if the player’s failure to include the penalty stroke(s) was a result of either ignorance of the Rules or of facts that the player could have reasonably discovered prior to signing and returning his score card.

For example, in the following scenarios, the Committee would not be justified in waiving or modifying the disqualification penalty:

As a player’s ball is in motion, he moves several loose impediments in the area in which the ball will likely come to rest. Unaware that this action is a breach of Rule 23-1, the player fails to include the two-stroke penalty in his score for the hole. As the player was aware of the facts that resulted in his breaching the Rules, he should be disqualified under Rule 6-6d for failing to include the two-stroke penalty under Rule 23-1.

I thought yesterday was one of the most boring Masters rounds I've watched since I started watching them back in the '70s. Hopefully today will bring some fireworks.

I don't think I've ever seen a course that they can manipulate as much to generate the scores they want with that airflow system under the greens and where they set the pins.

I will also add that while I have absolutely no idea how to go about doing it, I think it's awesome that fans can call in and report violations. I simply worked the junior circuit, but I know we had spectators trying and sometimes succeeding in reporting violations constantly. I remember one instance where a mom tried to accuse her son's opponent of cheating, but the son took his opponent's side so I couldn't do anything.

Surely you can't be serious?

Nobody likes a tattle tell. Let the officials designated to handle infractions handle the infractions and stay the hell out of it. A fans job is to enjoy the event, not interject themselves into. What's next? Me calling into the NFL because I saw holding that wasn't called on a late, game deciding TD? C'mon.

I agree...amend the rules and take fans calling in out of it...it's ridiculous and unfair, because no every shot is televised
