So will Tiger call a penalty on himself at his OWN TOURNAMENT?

Not the first time he's been cavalier with the rules. Any 10 handicap can feel it when they double hit a chip, no way Tiger Woods couldn't feel that.

Even the guy that coined the "cavalier" line says it was okay per the rules. Which just like in the Senden ruling people are posting what they think should happen rather than playing by the rules.

That was an incredibly stupid thing to say on the part of the rules official that supposedly said that.

Well that's a precedent another pro is going to point to at some time and not in a positive way.

 

Anyone who has played the game knows that with such a long follow through after such a short backswing it's hockey time and the direction the ball comes out only confirms that. You just can't move the ball 10ft or so with such a short backswing and a single hit.

 

Reminds me of one of my favourite golf tips from years ago - if you are struggling to extend through the ball with release then address the ball with the club immediately behind it then try to propel it as far as you can with no backswing. Once you try that drill you'll understand the power of a scoop release!

Weird situation where the no penalty is certainly the right application of the rules based on what can be seen, as we cannot see what TW feels. We have to take his word that he didn’t feel it, and he has a long history of not being forthcoming with the truth. Resembles a WWF match where the ref is distracted by someone outside the ring while the Iron Shiek pummels Jake the Snake with a chair. Can’t see it, player won’t own up to it - no penalty. It’s the correct ruling based on what is on video, but to think the greatest (or second) player of all time can’t tell if he hit a ball 2x is ridiculous. Just another instance of TW playing us all for fools.

If it was SICJAM, the officials would have quickly DQed him because he is a known cheater at golf and life. As for Tiger...well, it is his tournament.

 

 

Sorry... we all know who "FIGJAM" is.... but who's this SICJAM of which you speak?

FIGJAM's new moniker, since he is not Good anymore... Sure I Cheat, Just Ask Me.

It was a rule change that saved Tiger this time around. No, I don't think he intentionally tried to circumvent the rule by playing hockey from the bush; sure, he scraped it out with a no-backswing-forward-shove that -- at the very least -- resulted in a double hit, one that... in my eyes … even Tiger would be hard-pressed to detect. Watching live, I didn't see or hear the shove/scoop/carry but it became clear in replays that's EXACTLY what happened. Ah, but that's where the new rule involving HD TV came in. Without going to the trouble of actually poring over the rule book, the recent update says that if a player can't detect it and it can't be observed with the naked eye -- only with hi-def's modern technology -- then there's no penalty. Weird, huh? BECAUSE A VIOLATION CLEARLY HAPPENED. It's just no longer going to cost a player strokes.

 

Oh yeah... you want another example of a high-profile golfer getting off Scott-free because of a change? Read up on how Phil Mickelson could very well be behind bars today except for a gap in a law that let him escape a conviction for Insider Trading:

I would say it was clear in the one replay-not replays. Just the one from in front in slow motion did it look wonky. I thought the backswing was plenty long to hit the ball 20 feet.

What is the "long history" you speak of? The Masters where he kept the wrong entry point in mind? The event with Wittenberg where he went by Casey's(his playing partner) pov? The ball that settled that would likely have been no penalty with the new HD rule? The boulder that was a moveable object with help and clearly by the rules?

Is that a long history for the guy whose every move is more scrutinized and televised than any other player?

They don't want the truth Shilg. They will attack Woods regardless. It's what they do.....
