watching on DVR delay - he's on 7th hole - I'll have to take a look. Thanks for the heads up.

Just watched Castano and TW hit consecutive shots into the crowds and no one yells whatsoever - none of the caddies, players, marshall - so many eyes on the ball, but not a shout --------witnessed this several times last week at Tampa as well.

I saw it. It was the hazard by the lake in front of the green. He touched the grass several times before hitting the ball.

#8 hole in front of the green  - lateral hazard - Nobilo said the player is allowed to touch the top of the grass - but it appeared that Folwer drops the club into the grass when addressing it. Rickie was able to get up and down on the hole. Rolfing and Nobilo didn't say a word about a possible infraction.

That's not a penalty. You can touch the grass you just can't sole your club or touch water. The grass is not a loose impediment either.

It looked to me like the club went down into the grass before he took his backswing. I could be mistaken...

clubhead pretty much disappeared into the grass, but evidently didn't ground it...
