It's just a flat out disgrace Tringale is in the mix this week - he should be serving a one-year suspension.

That is a massive overreaction. Besides the fact that the offense (if even committed) is minor, he went ahead and DQ'd himself anyways. What would he serve the suspension for? Happy for Hunter Mahan. With his swing you'd expect him to win a lot more than he does.

3. He can count.
4. He recorded a 4.
5. He should have recorded a 5.
6. He allowed the person keeping his score to mark him for 4.

8. He played 7 more holes and said nothing.
9. Upon reviewing the cards he said nothing.

11. He accepted $53,000 all while knowing he had signed an incorrect scorecard.

How is a suspension for cheating not in order? And to quote Bobby Jones, him DQ'ing himself and you applauding it is like applauding a bankrobber returning the money.

YES! Completely agree Monte! I think he should be banned for life and forced to undergo the John McCain experience

Child, silence.

In professional golf, you have to be honourable - if players look at you and detect a whiff of dishonesty, your credibility is shot.

Tringale's 'DQ' warrants investigation, but as ever, the PGA just brush it, as they have done so many times.

I think you're over-reacting but I think your 11 points are valid.  I've whiffed and I knew when I whiffed that I did so with intentions of hitting the ball so it counted as a swing.  I'm not going to applaud him for coming forward 5 days later but I also don't think he should be suspended for a year.

I thought his interview was pompous, you can't state your honor is beyond reproach after you cheated and a guilty conscience plus some outside advice led you to do the right thing.

This is kind of ludicrous. He DQ'd himself and gained nothing from his supposed "cheating". No ranking points, no cash, no Ryder Cup points. Your issue with his behavior is more than a little bizarre.

EDIT:

Child, silence.

In professional golf, you have to be honourable - if players look at you and detect a whiff of dishonesty, your credibility is shot.

Tringale's 'DQ' warrants investigation, but as ever, the PGA just brush it, as they have done so many times.

Saying things like "Child, silence" make you seem like a huge a-hole and it damages your both your own personal credibility and the credibility of your argument.

    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
