Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

Maybe she will mysteriously disappear for 6 months for "personal reasons".

USGA and pro tour brought all of this trauma on themselves by allowing stuff observed on TV to become situations where penalties can be assessed after play is concluded.

Every sport now has situations on the court or the field that HI-def TV allows to be seen - you have to draw the line someplace and if you have a rules official with each group in the US Open then that persons call should be binding and final on the spot. 

Nobody questioned the ruling that allowed Dustin to drop from the hay into the light rough because of famous "temporary moveable obstruction Oakmont rule" that Ernie Els benefitted from years ago -  that drop may have saved him one or two or more shots at that point in the round and may have made a huge difference at the time.  I liked David Fay's attempt at equality for that ruling by saying that perhaps a player might have a good lie in which case that ruling would hurt them - but of course nobody would be asking for such a ruling if the lie was good (just like having a ball on a cart path that can be easily played from). But we can leave the argument about "line of sight" for another time, particularly if the actual line of play the player might want to take is not on that line of sight.

That's not what happened. He saw it move. This wasn't a call-in situation or an HD situation.

      My Driver Is Cracked?

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Really not surprised, and neither are the OEM’s.  The clubheads are just so many pieces now put together, not just a face welded to a body.  I’ve done demos and had head’s practically explode.  And it’s not always people with high swing speeds either. Last year I cracked my Stealth 2 Plus… the carbon crown cracked.  I held onto it for a while until I knew I’d get a Qi10 on the warranty swap, which I did.  I got the Qii10 in July and in October the fave started to come off plus I cracked it across the middle from the toe to the center… right where I like to hit it.  So next year I’ll send that one back for whatever is new next year. I’m not angry, I have back up drivers and it’s nice getting a new one every year.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      I was hitting my friend’s TW today and will end up finally unboxing  mine to use.  I’ll put the Nikes aside.  The Vapor Pro irons , the Vapor line in general have an odd cult following and the prices stay up there.  I almost pushed the original grips off of them so as not to wear them out and regrip them for my own use.   It’s crazy that they are worth more with the grips🙄.
