I applaud him for having the intuition to realize he violated the rules and then go an report the violation.

FWIW… He repaired aeration holes.

Good for him. I bet a lot of players don't know you can't repair those, especially since they changed the rule to let you repair spike marks, etc.

Good for the player, doing the right thing.  I see Model Local Rule E-4 on the hard card for MAPGA and VSGA events, but that allows relief for a ball in an aeration hole, it doesn't allow you to repair a hole.

Wow, I know this is not going above and beyond and seems like a brain fart on the rules violation to boot, but I can't help but feel terribly impressed by his integrity. Good on him.

Good for him realizing his error and self reporting. Its too bad that the course was not fully healed from the aeration.

That is the true story here: that they held a tournament at a course recently aerated.

Maybe I missed something here... but.. it seams that he knew all along that he was wrecking a rule and only came clean after he realized he was not going to sleep well that night or his teammate could possibly loose his spot on the playoff. Nobody told him the rule, he just heard a teammate say that putting on aerated greens is hard.

I think it just made him realize he goofed. When he realized the other player wasn’t repairing the holes…he realized he’d forgotten he can’t.

And this course has held 44 consecutive US Open qualifiers and is mentioned on the USGA site for that fact. They could have timed the punching a little better!

I didn’t jump to the conclusion he willingly knew it was a rules violation when he repaired aeration holes. I read as he forgot it was a rule until the comment. And for context the writer noted that multiple other players violated the rule without thought as well.

      High Schooler Shoots 60?!?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      "This video features a roundtable discussion hosted by Michigan Golf Live regarding a controversial high school golf score of 60 (11 under par) recently posted by a student at Anchor Bay High School. Key Discussion Points: The Controversy: The score has generated significant skepticism among the golfing community, with viewers and industry experts debating its legitimacy. The host notes that despite multiple invitations, the Anchor Bay coach declined to join the program to discuss the round (5:38). Historical Context: Guests, including former coach Rob McIntyre and rules official Terry Kildday, reflect on a 2018 controversy involving the same schools, where suspiciously low regional scores were not replicated at state finals, causing significant frustration for competing teams like Rochester Adams (10:40, 13:10). Scrutiny of Scorekeeping: The panel emphasizes that the modern IWR (I Wanna Maker) app system, while helpful, lacks the accountability of traditional walking scorers. There is a consensus among the guests that high school golf often lacks rigorous rule enforcement, leaving too much room for "creative" scorekeeping or simple misunderstandings of the rules (24:48, 54:43). Probability vs. Talent: While the guests acknowledge the possibility of a "round of a lifetime," they point to statistical probability tools suggesting such a score for a typical high school player is mathematically extreme (7:43, 31:32). Conclusion: The participants generally agree that while they wish to celebrate exceptional youth athletic achievements, the lack of transparency, verification, and willingness from the involved parties to address questions makes it difficult to definitively endorse the record. The conversation serves as a broader call for higher standards, better education on the rules of golf, and more proactive oversight in high school tournaments to "protect the field" (1:02:22)." I was curious about the statical improbability, so I asked it to go more into that part. I know the USGA has probabilities, but that takes into account the differential.  "The host explains that they utilized a mobile app designed to analyze the statistical probability of golf scores to evaluate the 11-under-par round. (6:15 - 6:26) Because the student had no established scoring record (with only a single posted score of 83), the team ran several hypothetical scenarios through the app's filter: 15 Handicap: The app determined the score was practically impossible. (7:13 - 7:16) 5 Handicap: Testing the score for a 5 handicap yielded the same outcome as the 15 handicap. (7:20- 7:26) Scratch Golfer: When they ran the calculation for a scratch golfer—someone who should theoretically be capable of playing at a high level—the app estimated that such a person would shoot an 11-under-par round only once every 5,214 years. (7:30 - 7:53)"

      How does Michigan handle their HS tournaments? When I played HS golf, we exchanged scorecards. I don’t get how a kid could get away with cheating on a score of 60. Unless kids are not even counting the others strokes taken. I would keep track both of mine and my opponents the entire round.  Anyways, it would be sad if the cheating is true.
