Sometimes even having Keys 2 and 3 doesn't guarantee a good shot

I was expecting something a little more muddy. I tried that trick- once- and will never do it again. The ball was at the edge of the water sitting on mud. No problem, I thought, as I set up. Of course I hit it fat and sent mud flying everywhere. I was wearing khaki shorts and a tan shirt. My whole front was covered. My sunglasses were completely blocked. Needless to say, my friends completely lost it. I washed up the best I could at the next tee box water station, but my clothes were trashed. Not a big deal finishing the last few holes, but the cart drop off and walk through the clubhouse and out to the car was a bit embarrassing. Never again. .

Ha ha...

There was another ball in there. Is he positive he is hitting the right one? That would add insult to injury.

Looked like there were several balls in there.  I hit out of a muddy fairway edge a few weeks ago, my shirt and shorts were not happy with that.  Wasn't horrible but enough to teach me a lesson.

He spends the first 30 seconds of the video (plus whatever they cut out) building a stance in the mud with his feet.  "Building a stance" is a penalty that has gotten guys DQ'd in the past but I suppose nobody wanted to stop him while he's busy shooting himself in the foot anyway.

I think it's pretty subjective.  He's allowed to take a stance and it looked like his foot kept slipping.

In addition, I see players working their feet into the sand of a sand trap all the time without being DQ'd.  Couldn't this be seen as something similar to that?

Building a stance is actually quite different from taking a stance. What I saw was a player who could not keep from slipping in the muddy water and was simply trying to find solid footing. Just my $0.02 worth.

Mr. Malnati has a blog. I didn't think there were any players who actually string together sentences and paragraphs anymore, it's all 140 characters. It's not a bad read:

I guess lots of aspiring players write down positive thoughts nowadays. Didn't Dicky Pride write something like this. If it works...

I didn't realize this attempt was at Pumpkin Ridge. The par 3 he did it on is a tricky hole. I am surprised he could stand at all. This past weekend at my home club in Oregon I was fishing another member of my groups ball out of the water and slipped in to about knee high. Sad part was after getting the ball out during the slip I kicked it back in the water and it was lost. My group had a good laugh.
