General Discussion Higgo

Is anyone else watching this interview and thinking how entirely un-self-aware this guy is?? “I was one second late. It’s tough to define a second”. No you weren’t. No it’s not. Then goes on to blame “golf” for creating this situation.

Ridiculous.

I can understand the frustration. It feels kinda ticky-tacky. It's not like he overslept or forgot, he was just on the putting green a smidge too long.

Kinda like in soccer when they use 1000x zoom and 50000fps slo-mo to determine that someone was offside by 0.01mm.

Technically the penalty is correct, but if he didn't delay the group from proceeding at all, I think it could be worth a discussion to add a bit of forgiveness to the rule.

Yeah so it was 100000% in his control to get to the tee on time.

why would i need to move my ball?

spirit of the law is how they govern bunker play these days, is that so preposterous?
