Excuse me, I sent that from Iphone in haste. I retract "ratted out".

Bamberger is a very fine writer. Exceptional. Wie was in the wrong no doubt. I allude to post facto, viewers and spectators etc making calls about rules violations. I dont have a problem with blatant violations. But it seems to me that sometimes given the circumstances they are unjust.

Im sure there has been many a time that a benevolent tournament director has turned a blind eye to an inconsequential mistake/offense. Once the tv guys/we know about it, it is beyond correction perhaps. This sort of thing making for good tv, sadly.

I nearly puked watching the British Open last year with the cameras zoomed in on the hovering putters and the wind oscillating balls. "This guy did ground his putter, this guy didnt ..........." Just zoom out for crying out loud before I hurl.

Justice may be blind but I like her to use her sense of smell sometimes in a benevolent way.

Maybe that is just me. In a compassionate way I would also like to award the 1968 Masters jacket to Roberto De Vicenzo. Maybe Im just a golf romantic.

Sorry for this off topic meander.

Back to the books. "Links Land" is inspired, yes.

O.B.

I actually agree with your first take. I don't have a problem with this sort of thing...

Except

If you are going to do this, do it right there. Don't wait until the next day after the card has been signed. If done on the spot, the drop could have been rectified. Even if brought up later in the round, a penalty could be applied. Bringing this to the committee after the card was signed is what is hard for me to swallow.

If an intentional mistake, I would see it differently...

I'm a romantic as well.

Sorry for the thread jack continuation.
