OT: The Open

[knightfan7]

Ryan Fox can play in my foursome any day.

No doubt Bryson "cheated" He knew exactly what he was doing.

Dudes hitting 245 yard 6 irons is gross. That's my 3 wood.

Your 3 Wood?

Showoff

What people like Pornhub also aren't understanding because frisbee golf is a lot different than a real golf major is that people were looking for that ball. Volunteers were trampling all around to find it. I've never seen a real golfer not walk behind the ball to line it up. Some gamesmanship? Maybe. 2 stroke penalty? Nah.

Walking behind the ball is ok. Walking behind the ball to tramp down the grass behind your ball is not.

This coming from someone who has spent a lot of time in the rough.

Once again Rule 1.8a

What Rule 1.8a Covers​

Under Rule 8.1a, a player must not:

1. Move, bend, or break any:
   • Growing or attached natural object (e.g., grass, plants)

Understood, but there was no way that grass wasn't already trampled on just to find that ball. There were multiple volunteers looking for it. A warning would have been sufficient.

You've never seen a golfer not walk behind his ball? It happens all the time when guys are near hazards, in the bushes, near a tree, etc. Players are really good about taking the least invasive path and not pushing back bushes/branches/long grass to avoid improving their lie. This instance was an outlier, not the norm for a professional golfer.
