@SarahAnnRhoades Yes. He trampled down the weeds in an awkward way. The R & A indicates that it appeared to be accidental, but that doesn’t matter if it’s accidental or intentional. The rule is the same.
@MrCarlson91 The R&A people were on it as soon as it happened according to USA coverage. They wait until a person’s round is over to assess the penalty. Let’s the player play without the burden and allows R&A to be sure in its ruling.
@MrFeeny7@NUCLRGOLF@TheOpen@GolfChannel@NoLayingUp@brysondech THIS IS NOT THE WHOLE VIDEO. Before this video started, he backed over the weeds behind him and laid them down with his feet and that allowed his back swing to happen unimpeded. I’m not claiming whether he should be penalized. I’m just stating the facts.
I hate it when NBC tries to cover golf. We are watching Dechambeau stand around while Schauffle, the leader, is playing somewhere in oblivion. Sure, the Dechambeau group was featured, but make adjustments. Are you telling me you could not get a camera with the Schauffle group?
@saltytunafish1@LenHochberg “"Following a staff member report of member misconduct, the club provided immediate and ongoing support to the staff member, conducted a thorough independent investigation of the incident and took decisive action. This individual is no longer a member of The Farms Golf Club.”
@AtaraxianSon@GolfDigest Oh, and “what” is exactly what Mickelson learned. That’s “so what.” He doesn’t play at that golf club anymore and has now been labeled with even more questionable character, as if it could get worse. So THAT is “so what.”
