As...About Ji Young Oh - first - she was not right. As long as play was continuing, the rules of golf applied. That includes balls in play that move. If she still had her mark on the green, she would've been alright. If her ball hadn't rolled into the water - she would've been alright. It's called the rub of the green.<BR/><BR/>The official did not "yell" at her. He explained the situation very calmly. And she should know the rule. Unfortunate as it was, the official didn't have the authority to overrule the rule for her.<BR/><BR/>Charlie Reimer was out of his mind on xxx Golf Channel that night, saying that HE would've protested and sat in the middle of the green until they stopped play. Sorry, Charlie - you would've done no such thing - don't be stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-41761327457985218932009-04-05T13:05:00.000-04:002009-04-05T13:05:00.000-04:00P - pretty good bet that this isn't "brackish" wat...P - pretty good bet that this isn't "brackish" water. Brackish means that the water is salty - not as salty as seawater, but definitely not fresh water.<BR/><BR/>That is a fresh water lake used to water the course.<BR/><BR/>A few years back, some germ-o-phobe raised a stink and made them check the water to make sure it was safe for them to jump in, even though they had been doing it for years. They also reworked the bottom of the area where they jump to make sure nobody got injured hitting a rock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-79776136390254905792009-04-04T21:01:00.000-04:002009-04-04T21:01:00.000-04:00To to top it all off, the rules official said he m...To to top it all off, the rules official said he made an "incorrect" application of the rule in question.ducks 64https://www.blogger.com/profile/17389335190149569036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-22226345942987035772009-04-04T09:30:00.000-04:002009-04-04T09:30:00.000-04:00I believe that Ji Young Oh was correct and that pl...I believe that Ji Young Oh was correct and that play went on far longer than it should.<BR/><BR/>You could say, on the other hand, that everyone plays the same golf course, but that's not necessarily so.

In the haste to close down traditional media across the board and forever, many are forgetting the legions of consumers who don't trust digital media or don't understand it. They still consume news and they communicate with others.
