Just drop one and play on. Too many silly rules that don't apply fairly to all golfers.

Ball at Rest Moved - How Would You Improve This Rule?
pumaAttack replied to iacas's topic in Rules of Golf
Its pretty simple really... If you have marked your ball and it moves afterwards, just replace it. Whether you accidentally bumped it, the ground caused it, the wind caused, the rain caused it, etc. you just put the ball back to the original spot and play on. No need to get penalized for a ball oscillating, that's ridiculous. If you accidentally bump the ball returning the putter after a practice stroke, there should be no penalty as no advantage was given. If the player clearly didn't make an attempted stroke on the ball, just replace it and carry on. -
I was thinking the same thing. Oakmont is actually pretty ugly for a golf course. Last year at Chambers Bay was so much more impressive. I would take a sound over a turnpike any day!

Golf Channel talking stats and the importance of scrambling:

Disappointed. I was looking forward to golf at the Olympics but it seems everyone is gonna drop out. The IOC can't be happy. They bring golf back and the stars drop out.

He finally is being smart about his recovery. He has to know this is his last chance and it's better to come back next year at 100% versus trying to get back now at 60% or whatever he is at.
-
So stating facts is now immature? Go ahead and watch the tournament. It's the putting and scrambling that's winning

Just showing more data points for the analytics community
-
Just like the hockey analytics scene... Some new stat comes out with no historical data and you just assume it's the bible. I'll watch the tournaments instead of assuming stats paint the whole picture.
-
DJ bombing his driver! But not scoring well. Wonder why...
-
How do you know that!? That's just a huge assumption. If they putted and scrambled better they would make the cut...
-
Not rooting against Lowry but I want this to come down to the last few holes and have like 5 golfers with a legit chance to win.
-
I think my point has been misinterpreted. Of course you have to drive the ball really well. You also have to hit your approach shots well. But that alone won't WIN any tournaments. You have to be REALLY GOOD at scrambling and putting that week to win.
-
Every PGA player hits the ball well off the tee and with their long irons each week, it's what they do around the greens that determines the winner.
-
All move on when the winner stops being great in short game and putting each week...
-
Lowry is 1st and 2nd in putting and short game this week. Please explain again how important long game is...
-
Maybe it's the rain but oakmont doesn't look all that hard. Hard, yes. The hardest golf course in America? Not even close.
-
Lololol... No way any PGA player takes a one shot lead over a 10 shot lead going into the final round of a major.
-
Rain....
-
And FOXs broadcast comes on the air at 11am ET. That's a good 4.5 hours before the leaders even tee off. CBS comes on right when the leaders tee off at Augusta, and that's only Sunday. Will be interesting to see how the course is set up and how hard it is playing before the leaders get going. How far back is too far? Day at +1?
-
Every player would take a two shot lead over a 1. Or a 4 shot lead over a 2. Or a 8 stroke lead over a 4. You are simply remembering the collapses of huge leads. There have been thousands more leads of 1 or 2 strokes that have been choked away. Selective attention is skewing you, remembering the bad collapses over the small ones.

Are you saying you would rather have a 1 stroke lead over a 10 stroke lead?!
-
Ha, of course he makes birdie. Lowry at -7, wow!
-
Lowry on fire! But come on guys, look at the data. Gotta go for the green on 17. Lowry leaves himself a terrible approach after laying up. Should have hit the driver.
