Mito Pereira leads the 2022 PGA Championship through Saturday afternoon, but a free drop has caused controversy with announcers and fans alike. On the ninth hole, Pereira hit a tee shot that drifted left into...

Uhmmm, sometimes the Rules can help you out. They're the same for everyone, and he did nothing wrong here.

Learn the Rules of Golf, people. They can save you shots, too.

I’m tuned in again it looks like they front loaded the ads during the first 9 there are fewer ads during back 9.

No point in potential further injury. The weather was not in his favor.

I guess I lost my bet that Tiger would win by12 strokes? Good for him. Took guts to play in pain. Takes guts for a guy like him to withdraw. 
Now, c’mon Bubba!

Ugh, just heard the announcer say that on a short par-4, you always have to lay up and choose an angle.  This after a poor shot by (I think) Pereira on the 9th.  What year is it?  Not that it was true in the past, but at least in the past they had an excuse for believing it.

right?? it's wild how little the announcers and analysts have updated their golf knowledge. I still hear incorrect comments about the ball flight lights!

It really is.  I have sort of accepted that people aren't going to get the ball flight laws right, but I still expect they'll get things like expected value right.  I hope my making a distinction between applied math and physics doesn't cause some controversy. ;-)  But I do think at least the math should be easier to correct.

Sometimes they do get the math right. I can’t remember what tournament it was or which broadcast team, but they had an interesting graphic showing the expected SG on a short par 4, and without fail the closer to the green the ball was the more strokes gained the player, well, gained. Wish they did that stuff more

Really!  It'd be so much easier to get right.

I just saw Justin Thomas hit his third at 16, from a greenside bunker.  After he stepped out of the bunker (after hitting a great shot), he lifted each foot in succession and smacked the shoe with his wedge.  I do this too (in my case, after I rake and am done in the bunker;  I assume his caddie will rake).  I wonder where I picked up the habit.

Really tired of Dottie Pepper harping on Ftizpatrick’s “quick” pace.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
