It's not every day you see 14 players disqualified in one event, but that's exactly what happened in an Outlaw Tour tournament on Monday.

‘Hey...can someone explain why the card says 222yd and the tees are at the 204 plate? Just want to be sure before I tee off.’

Done.

The course was set up for the tournament, right? I would have teed off from where the tee markers were set up and just assumed someone made an error printing the scorecard.

Right. This was essentially a repeat of what happened in a high school tournament a few years ago. The linked thread above generated some heated debate, but ultimately the consensus was that you have to play from the designated tee markers. The scorecard is not the end all be all.

Wait...for a tournament like this, do they remove all the other tees? Or is there a special color tee that they use?

I'll be perfectly honest and say I probably wouldn't have paid enough attention to the scorecard yardage to have noticed a difference :whistle:

Usually it's the latter. Every event that I have played in has had special "tournament tee markers" that are set up before the first group goes off. Since almost all amateur tournaments are bracketed by public play both before and after, it usually isn't practical to remove all other tees.

If they’re were more than one set of tees per hole that’s stupid for a mini-tour tournament. If they failed to tee off from an unmarked tee box then...wtf? Fix it.

There were. Because the public plays before and after them.

DQ was the right call.

Can’t be that difficult to know what tees to use no? Especially if they noticed a discrepancy with the yardage.

No, it's a dumb mistake on the one group's part, then all the groups that followed.

If you're playing the tournament from the gold tees, you play from the gold tees. I'm not sure why these players put more weight onto the scorecard rather than the location of the tee markers.

Exactly. Can’t imagine walking to a tee with my ‘gold’ tees set up then ignoring them based on a score card yardage.

Cynical response here: Only the first group should be DQed. Not only did they basically "set" the teebox at the incorrect spot, they were slow enough for people to be waiting on em.

That isn’t how the Rules work.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
