The thing that baffles me is there is a rules official with every group. Why was said official not there making sure everything was on the up and up?
There isn't one with every group. That's only done at the US Open and PGA

"It should protect us," Watson said of the rule adjustment. "The sad thing is the high-profile player gets the camera on him at all times. A guy could break a rule and not know he broke the rule. Like me today, there's no cameras on me today, everybody could care less what I was doing."
This.
If you can't watch every shot by every golfer you shouldn't allow people to call in on the guys they do show.

You might be right but I find it pretty hard to believe that the biggest tournament of the year, the Masters, wouldnt have an official at every hole.

They probably can't afford one at every hole since they only charge $1.50 for an egg salad sandwich and $3 for a beer.

They contract PGA Tour and Euro Tour officials for the week. They don't need one with every group.

The reason the Master doesn't have an official with every group is...
quote:
Jones was not only a consummately skilled golfer but exemplified the principles of sportsmanship and fair play. In the first round of the 1925 U.S. Open at the Worcester Country Club near Boston, his approach shot to the 11th hole's elevated green fell short into the deep rough of the embankment. As he took his stance to pitch onto the green, the head of his club brushed the grass and caused a slight movement of the ball. He took the shot, then informed his playing partner Walter Hagen and the USGA official covering their match that he was calling a penalty on himself. Hagen was unable to talk him out of it, and they continued play. After the round and before he signed his scorecard, officials argued with Jones but he insisted that he had violated Rule 18, moving a ball at rest after address, and took a 77 instead of the 76 he otherwise would have carded. Jones' self-imposed one-stroke penalty eventually cost him winning the Open by a stroke in regulation, necessitating a playoff he then lost. Although praised by many sports writers for his gesture, Jones was reported to have said, "You may as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."

I hope the d bag who called in chokes on his own semen. You really need to get out more.

I agree.

For every other sport, blown calls are a part of the game. Can't go back and shoot free throws the next day over a missed hack or change the score of a baseball game if the runner misses a base but is discovered by video later. The Masters should have said, we made an error, and we will assess the proper penalty at the next infraction.
