Announcers Not Knowing the Rules of Golf

[iacas]

Ugh:

I posted this in the other topic, but… if you don't know the rules, shut the heck up. The ball is holed as soon as it goes in the hole and beneath the level of the lip and comes to rest.

They don't rip the flagstick out because it's a hack, amateur thing to do that risks pulling the whole cup out and damaging the cup, the lip, the hole, or whatever.

Ugh.

The other incident was today, too:

C'mon guys. If you don't know the answer, don't talk.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt....

Craig was gently corrected a few minutes later.

Well, he wasn't "corrected" per se, he was told you could take the cup liner out or damage the hole by the other announcer. He was never told he was wrong and that the ball was holed.

Giving us Craigs a bad name. You'd think someone with a good Scottish name would know better.

That quote is on the wall of The Mark Twain House Museum. One of my favorites!

Never really cared for members if the media. .

Today Craig Perks keeps saying that putts are rolling uphill because of the effect of the mountains in Utah.  

[Buckeyebowman]

Damn! If mountains in Utah are affecting my putts, I have no idea where to hit them!

I live in NE Ohio!

Believe me, I have enough trouble as it is!

Which way putts break isn't really about the Rules.
