if thats a bunker how come people were standing in/around it?

Because it's outside the ropes so technically there's nothing stopping the people from stepping in it. They've been talking about this all week, idk how the pro's aren't aware of this rule by now...

then they are stupid for keeping the course that way. Ive been to tour events and many courses have stuff that looks like that by sunday.

By Johnsons reaction when leaving the scoring room it looked like a 2shot penalty.


And it was.

It is incredibly gut wrenching, but rules are rules.
The caddie should have been aware, and professionals need to be certain.

Go BUBBA!

Thats complete bullshit, people are walking through those bunkers. Do they get to rake them before they play? I mean wtf if you hit into a footprint.

He definitely grounded the club, especially before he even set up. But that should not be declared a bunker. Very unfortunate for Dustin Johnson and he deserves a chance to win this tournament.

Wow, I didn't even realize that was a bunker the first time I watched it through. But it's not my job to know the course, so tough break.

There was no question that he set up beside his ball with the club grounded in the bunker, took a practice swing that looked like it took some sand. Then did it again, set up behind the ball with the club grounded again (I think) and hit out. It didn't look like he thought it was a bunker at all. Poor guy, but you gotta be awake out there.

[They're still talking about it on the online coverage and the guys are blathering some crap about a 3 stroke penalty because his score went from -1 to +1. Wake up guys, that's 2 strokes.... off topic here, but that's some of the worst commentator coverage I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. Thank goodness for Mute]

Thats the penalty for hitting in a bunker at this course. Kids are building sand castles in them...guess what, play it as it lies.

When I saw him ground his club before the whole shadow deal my jaw dropped. They've been talking about it all week at worst he should have took the time to get a ruling. I feel for Dustin man that's heartbreaking but I want to see Bubba get this done.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
