I've been a long-time USGA supporter and I'm a big believer in the "integrity of the game" but the USGA are looking like fools here.


The younger guy who was on TGC last night getting grilled by Brandel knew they fricked up but someone above him threw him to the wolves and made them spew the "USGA viewpoint". You could tell he was very uncomfortable.

I was also astonished that they pulled two officials off the course and back to the clubhouse to review this video. Holes 4/5/6 are a very long way from the clubhouse too. What prompted them to even review it in the first place??

I wish I had seen that. I'll have to haunt TGC tonight to see if they show a replay. That just makes them look even worse. Don't send a flunky out to defend your position. Send somebody who was in the room when the decision was made and will stand by it.

Maybe some good will come of this. Maybe the USGA will review their practices so that something like this won't cost somebody a championship in the future.
