When Zach Johnson accidentally clipped the ball at the Masters off the tee on a practice stroke, he just re-teed and it was still his 1st shot. I do not understand this.
He didn't get charged a penalty, he didn't really know what to do, but eventually just put it back and putted from the original spot.....and 3 putted from there
Rule change last year. It’s not a stroke or a penalty if it’s obvious you aren’t trying to hit the ball.
Two out of bounds tee shots leading to two double bogeys combined with losing 2.4 strokes on the greens will do that to you
Soly shot 85 and he's a scratch. The other NLU camera guy shot 89 and he's like a 3 or something like that.
Call golf galaxy this morning to see if my new driver. They checked and it didn’t arrive yet. I decide to go play this afternoon since I haven’t been able to play in about a month. Get on the second tee and they call to let me know it just came in. Happy it’s in but would have loved to try it out today.
Accidentally hitting your ball while on the tee has never been a penalty because the ball was not yet in play. On the putting green that rule change is deemed that you “own the spot” once you’ve marked your spot and it comes down to intent. So DJ’s ball moving the tiniest amount on the green at Oakmont would not have been a penalty
there is a nicklaus course 2 hours from me in palmetto bluff that reminds me a lot of concession. Tons of deep green side bunkering with elevated countoured greens with severe run offs. $300 a round and one of the finest manicured courses in the state. I played once with a caddie, played ok and absolutely hated almost every second of it. I’m just a shitty 16 handicap but every shot into the green felt impossible for me.
The tour didn't bother with that when they put up a graphic with Charlie Hoffman as the all time top performers in the Texas Open based on career earnings at the event.
