They just went over it. New exception to the rule....and a damn good one if you ask me. Never understood how guys could get penalized for a ball rolling on its own.

Not true that new exception didnt even matter in this situation. He should have gotten penalized as he hit the grass. The new exception is for wind moving the ball

Hall of Fame Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 23875 Location: United States	#12 Posted: 7/22/2012 11:11:46 AM DROC - The way they just went over the rule, basically stating a player can take as many practice swings as they want (As they would not technically be addressing the ball at that point) and if the ball moves...so be it. How is that a better rule? Scott essentially went from hitting a chip from the collar...to a putt. Seems fair?

You can't assume the wind moved the ball there after he took multiple practice swings 12" from the original spot of his ball. If they are going to clarify the new rule like that...I can essentially beat the garbage out of the ground right next to my ball...and hope it moves to a better spot. All is well though...as long as I wasn't addressing the ball at the time

Veteran Joined: May 2008 Posts: 3023 Location: New Jersey	#16 Posted: 7/22/2012 11:22:54 AM yeah...considering it wasn't his fault it rolled. I hear what you're saying, but he walked away from it. I don't see why he should be penalized for that at all.

Hall of Fame Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 23875 Location: United States	#17 Posted: 7/22/2012 11:26:13 AM DROC - Who's to say his first few practice swings didn't move the ball...even a fraction? The point is, he was 1ft away taking those practice swings...and the ball moved to an even better spot. If you don't want to penalize him...so be it. But, the player should have to replace the ball...not end up in a better spot.

Veteran Joined: May 2008 Posts: 3023 Location: New Jersey	#19 Posted: 7/22/2012 11:30:29 AM I could agree with that, and I'm sure they'll look at that rule again at the end of the year. The way the rule used to be last year was worse, though, and I'm happy they did something about it. Obviously, the rules official made the right call, and I'm glad they didn't drastically change the course of this tournament for something that I don't think was his fault at all.

Even the announcers on TV are saying he should have been penalized. Azinger a former player said a penalty should have been had. And it does drastically change the tournament...as he would have been putting for PAR from 15ft...rather than birdie (He missed) Adam dropping a stroke would have been drastically changed this tournament.

If he manages to play those even par, he'd have a shot. Did the same garbage yesterday as well.
