I only saw a bit of it with the volume down, so I didn't hear the full commentary, but basically Na hit a shot right on #17/18 and had to take relief from the cart path.

He elected to drop ON the cart path and eventually (I didn't see, but I assume) he had to place the ball.  He then proceeded to hit a 3w/2h off the cart path.  It was a nice shot BTW.

Seemed very odd to me, but I guess it was well within the rules.

Take relief by dropping on the same thing you are taking relief from....

Thanks for the link, I missed that thread.

Not sure why you got on me though, it was just a question about the decision.  I'm not sure I have anything to let go of at this point.

I even complemented the shot Na made.

Have a great day!

Sorry I didn't mean to come across like that at all. But someone in that other thread was arguing with me about it.

My appologies!

On the final round of the 2012 Players on 18 Kevin Na took what I belief was a stance relief from the cart path.  He then dropped his ball and played from the cart path with his feet still on the cart path.  I thought you were required to take nearest point of full relief (with full relief meaning that you are no longer hindered by the obstruction from which you are claiming relief).  Can someone explain what happened?

At last someone has brought this up.It was blatant cheating.

Very few people saw it, and he thought he got away with it.

He has been removed from the Tour for 3 months and did not receive prizemoney.

His FedEX Cup points have been canceled for the year.

He has been ordered to give clinics to children for the rest of the year.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Boy this is getting a lot of play.  I wonder why folks aren't seeing the other thread?

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the little stutter move (I thought I saw) Johnny Vegas do after hitting his tee shot on 17.  Seemed like he was allowing or showing Zach Johnson's caddie what club he had just used.  And no I'm not calling anyone a cheater.

Regards,

John

Actually i was listening to the comentary on XM Radio, they said he got relief from ground under repair since the ground was damaged from the the people walking around and the chairs sitting there. As you can see the ground was really tore up, the pga basically considers this GUR, because its not the normal conditions of the course, or conditions caused by tourniment play (ball ending up in a divot). So he was allowed to drop it on the cart path, which he could then take another drop if he wanted to.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      Its simple, YOU are responsible for reporting YOUR score correctly, at every level of golf.  Do you imagine a top pro would really trust anyone else with his score? Without getting too far from the original post, the Rules have been revised every 4 years for decades.  They're continually evaluated, and most changes are in response to changes within the game.  BTW, if wind blows your ball off the green before you've lifted and replaced it, you play from wherever it ends up.  The TV call ins weren't a rule of golf issue, they were a PGA Tour issue, all in an effort to get the call right.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Someone asked what I propose. I think if the bunker is full of rainwater, you get to drop it with no penalty directly in back of the bunker, so you still have a tricky shot of chipping over the bunker. People are talking about local committees and such which we just don’t have at our level. My league and playing partners gave the free drop with no issue. My original purpose of this post was just to understand what the “real” rule is, and I now know. But now I also want to encourage people to see that many long time golf rules are outdated and illogical, and hopefully encourage people to push for change. They made some changes in the last few years, so I’m hopeful the game I love will improve if enough people speak out. A lot to hope for posting in a little forum I know, but you have to start somewhere.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By billchao ·

      There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.

      By klineka ·

      But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
