Yikes, I would think the best thing for P Reed to do is nothing.

Also, I didn’t know journalists / analysts couldn’t have opinions. Does he need to preface his takes with-“In my opinion, Reed cheated”?

I'm extremely far from being a Chamblee fan, but this seems egregious to me. f*** Reed.

Patrick Reed, all by himself, may be able to accomplish something bordering on the miraculous here.  He could actually get people to like Brandel Chamblee!  :-D

I keep wanting to give Patrick Reed the benefit of the doubt, but I just cannot anymore. He is a man child, nothing more. His repeated behavior on and off the course just smacks of an immaturity that shouldn't be present in a man turning 30 this year. He reminds me of my children when they were 2 or 3. The pouting, the whining, the cheating, enough is enough. Grow up, take your balls away from that nut job of a wife you have, and start making some mature decisions in your life.

We all periodically breach rules, and when we do, we accept the penalty for doing so, but we’re not cheating.  

cheat does so intentionally hoping to get away with the breach and avoid the penalty.

This is absolutely the right way to look at it.  It's extremely annoying to see people called "cheats" when they breach a rule (but take the penalty correctly).

Doesn't seem like it's in his make up to do so. Obviously his sense of entitlement is bigger than Texas, but also thinks playing victim has great merit and the best strategy. Any acknowledgement of poor sportmanship is pandering to the burgeouis. I agree with Chamblee; he seems like the type who are irritated by facts more than anything when they don't work out in their favor.

He’s basically the American Ian Poulter at this point.

Except that he had only one or two good Cups. Then again Ian can't play in the Presidents Cup.

He didn’t take the penalty but was only given the penalty because they caught him. Golf is unique in where we are all our own judges. He improved his lie TWICE in rapid succession and didn’t call it on himself. And don’t tell me a professional golfer didn’t notice that his ball now suddenly doesn’t have sand behind it after his two practice backswings...

And don't tell me a tour pro doesn't have such great feel in his hands that he didn't feel the resistance of sweeping away the sand.

And yet he says he didn't notice, and according to Slugger he accepted the strokes when he saw the video.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
