I did not see any thread on this, so I decided to post. I read that Ken Venture died today at the age of 82. He is best remembered as the 1964 US Open Champion when it was played at Congressional. After this Open, his game suffered and...

I think this incident is a very good reason to NOT allow TV viewers the opportunity to call in what they see as Rules Violations. No other sport has them right?   And, the Master's Rules Committee were correct in...
