Anybody see Lexi Thompson get totally screwed by the LPGA today?

[Lex Luthor]

I was watching this on live TV a few minutes ago. This is bullshit. They've got to change this bullshit rule.

Leader Lexi Thompson hit with 4-stroke penalty a day later at ANA Inspiration

Cameras were rolling as then-leader Lexi Thompson was informed by a rules official that she be assessed a 4-stroke penalty Sunday during the final round of the LPGA Tour’s ANA Inspiration.

A television viewer watching a delayed version of Saturday’s third round alerted tournament officials that Thompson had placed her ball in a different spot than where she marked it before putting on the No. 17 green. That led to a retrospective 2-stroke penalty in addition to a 2-stroke penalty for signing for the wrong score after the third round.

Thompson held a 2-shot lead at 16 under when she was informed of the penalty from a day earlier while walking to the No. 14 green and suddenly trailed by two at 12 under.

She still has a chance to win the tournament despite this bullshit. She birdied the next hole (even though she was fighting back tears) and Suzanne Peterson bogied it. So in about 5 minutes she went from leading by 2, to trailing by 2, to tied for the lead.

Garcia Bronco knows more about golf that Phil Mickelson. Just ask him.

I stopped the golf cart in the middle of the fairway, looked at him and said. "Not today." He shot his best ever on that front 9. The guy went on to win his flight and a nice purse.

I also caddie and I've helped my friend place 3rd in the Denver Cup. We're going to try and win the Colorado Amateur this year (a pipe dream), but we're going to compete and have some fun....


....and by the rules

Seriously dude, no one cares.

It's nearly a direct quote from him. People like you are ruining the sport. He was on Mike & Mike talking about it.

Looks like some in here were right. Someone finally came to their senses.

Now, at long last, in the year 2017, golf’s governing bodies have finally seen the light: as of Jan. 1, viewers won’t be allowed to call in rules violations. A rules official will be on site to watch video broadcasts of the tournament, but the calls from whining, interfering viewers will go unanswered.

Good move, golf. There have been far too many of these call-ins over the past few years for ticky tack bs. It's a game, they aren't a bunch of robots.

There was one I saw on the PGA where a guy grounded his club in a ground-under-repair area that was formerly a sand trap. But the call-ins saw it and the rules official declared that because it used to be a hazard and there was sand there it counted as a sand trap, and it cost the guy the win. After everyone was in the clubhouse already.

Same as always, watch golf and suck himself off when he sees a rules violation.

Good. Never forget them calling in on the Walrus years ago for putting a rain coat down to kneel on.

I have an old golfing friend that knows every rule in the book and can tell you the number associated with it along with the paragraph.


He is not a lot of fun to play golf with and he sucks at it, 17 handicap.

Let's get one thing clear I don't call in but don't get mad cuz people got caught cheating and called on it. That's what this is really about. I thought chief fans had more principles in that you certainly like to call everybody else out for cheating.

Inadvertent rules violations aren't cheating. No advantage gained. Just think if Chiefs fans could call in every time the donks cheated?

Yep, thought I'd mentioned this. Good day for golf.
