Intersting point from the Augusta Chronicle:
quote:

@ScottMichaux Based on these pictures from fixed point (fixed markers circled) seems Tiger should not have been penalized at all.

if tiger had kept his mouth shut hie would be fine.

the rule reads "as near as possible" to the first shot and within a few feet is within the spirit of the rule. that is why the committee didn't penalize hime during the round.

This whole situation is fricked up.

It's crazy that if Tiger didn't hit a perfect shot none of this would have happened.

First of all 2D cameras suck at capturing this type of thing ...

But, man there are some uninformed people out there ITS THE INTENT .. If he intended to do it its a penalty ..


Just like if I intend to hit a shot and totally miss the ball, I have to count the stroke because I intended to hit it. Or if on the tee I hit the ball on my practice swing, I do not count the stoke because I did not intend to hit he ball.

For those two reasons alone, for a newspaper to publish this is laughable.

I said it then, he was inches away. . It was a bad penalty. this photo analysis should have been used but instead they based it off of video and the wrong divot.

So the rules officials were right when they initially said it was cool. Go figure.

I intended for all my balls to go in the hole. Recorded an official 18 last round I played.

I never looked at it close but when ESPN kept showing it.. it always looked like that big divot they thought was Tiger's was there on his first shot.

I thought maybe I was just seeing things. Maybe I wasn't.

So, even though the rule was changed to prevent call in rules violations to be DQs, we should ignore that rule? So are we just picking and choosing which rules to enforce now?

I've said it before but here I go again

People saying that Tiger was unjustly punished and didn't do anything wrong are just as bad as the ones saying he should have been DQ or withdrawn from the Masters.

2 stroke penalty was the right decision.

Rule was changed to keep up with the technology that people would have no possible knowledge of in real time. It was not changed to prevent ignorance of the rule and specifically says that. This case is the latter not the former

Foe the umpteenth time, That rule was made for replay where TV is needed to determine if a violation has occurred when a player could not possibly known that they broke a rule. IT DOES NOT APPLY HERE ... Not even close .. You do not need a camera to see where that ball bounced off of the pin
