Am I imagining this (Masters related) ...

[Shmuley]

or is it pretty clear that CBS cameramen are avoiding close-ups of balls being marked and at address on the green (or really anywhere else on the course)? I don't recall seeing any close-ups. Perhaps they've finally figured out that there is no reason to give the arm chair piece of **** rule monkeys any ammunition to 17 up everything. What they did to that poor girl last week was a 17n travesty.

The bigger POSes is the PGA rules committee. They should be embarrassed.

I would think its more related to what CBS is allowed to do at Augusta.

Yes I've noticed, and it's probably because the Master's committee ordered it. They control every aspect of the broadcast, down to demanding that the crowd be called "patrons".

And yes, what they did last week was a travesty. No one should be able to call in and report a violation. If it's not seen by the officials on site, or self-reported by the golfer, then it didn't happen. At worst she should have gotten a two stroke penalty for misplacing the ball. I really don't know why she marked it any way. It was just about a one foot putt.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Also, Lexi is hot. Somebody else provide the pics. Lazy.

Needs to work on the eyebrows a little ... thin them out. Relatively minor flaw though.

It was a two stroke penalty for not replacing the ball correctly and a two stroke penalty for signing an incorrect score card. I don't remember when they changed the rule, but in the past she would have been removed from play due to signing the incorrect score card.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

What is wrong with this, if nothing else

is that she was in the middle of her next days round, before this was brought forth.

Total BS!

 

[PineGroveBully]

Yup,My take away from that whole mess

Was that I don't watch enough womens golf.

today was as damn a fine display of golf as I've watched in a long time

 

[Dawg1976]

Not so sure. They did a good job of showing a lot of shots from a variety of players. In doing so, didn't waste a lot of time showing players lining up putts and replacing balls on greens. Also not a lot of bs silly commentary trying to entertain us. Much better coverage than we see on a weekly basis.

 

[Muttley]

It should not have been called once the player completed her round and signed her score card. Officials are with every group, if that official, or the other players in the group, don't catch the penalty at the time it occurs it shouldn't be called at all.

I've never seem so many shots from so many people. It was great.

Coverage today isn't that great ... Dottie Pepper just referred to the collection of Patrons as the Gallery. ** Might be her last appearance at the event for CBS.

Football and basketball could use this rule. I'd love to call in a hold on Bama football or a charge on USC women.

The original camera angle when Sergio had a drop on 14 was behind him. You couldn't see what he was doing to clean up around the ball after dropping it. I think it was when he was on 18 the first time they showed another angle and said it had already been determined he did not have a penalty but it looked real close. I found this that interesting. If the other angle had been show originally, they would have had a lot of jack asses calling in.
