what an idiot
quote:
The senior was facing a 3-footer for par at the fourth hole (his 13th of the round), when the incident happened.
quote:
He reached for his scorecard in his pocket only for his ball to accidentally fall out. OK, no big de– and then the ball kicked off one of Wicks’ shoes and trundled into a lake right behind the bunker!
quote:
Knowing the stakes, Wicks had no choice: He had to jump in the water to try to find his ball. And because the water had some depth, he had to strip down to his underwear to do so.
quote:
While Wicks did find numerous golf balls there, he unfortunately didn’t find his own ball within five minutes – and had to take a two-stroke penalty.

Too bad it didn't happen in the ladies' tournament.

Exactly. I love and play golf but many of the rules are stupid as can be. How, for instance, could it possibly make a difference in whether the golfer made or missed the putt if he was forced by this freak accident to use a different ball? But, I'm sure that golf purists were all sitting sanctimoniously by waiting to assess the poor fellow a two shot penalty.
Same goes for the golfer who drives a ball way down the fairway but the ball winds up in someone else's divot. Can't move that ball, dude. But, wasn't the fellow who created the divot supposed to repair the ground after his shot?

The rule is there because despite golf being a sport of integrity, people still like to stretch/bend the rules or flat out cheat.
You're assessed a penalty in this situation because otherwise people would "accidentally" lose their scuffed ball (that careened off a tree or cart path the stroke before) in the water and replace it with one that isn't marked up.

If I'm just playing on the weekend and get a terrible lie in the fairway, I'm moving it. But it's just the way things are, sometimes.

Which is more stupid, golf's written rules or baseball's unwritten rules.

His team won he playoff to advance. His teammates would have never let him live that down if they lost that playoff

You should always have one shoved up your arse for situations just like this.
Are you in it to win it or not?
