Like in all sports — rules & officiating — there is wide inconsistency in rulings. The 2-club test (which is FAR more improvement than this) happens nearly every tournament, ON CAMERA, so who knows what’s happening off.
This was such a minor set down of club behind the ball (almost a natural & commonly repeated movement by golfers everywhere), it not only doesn’t seem like a penalty under the rules, but is at the ridiculous level of enforcement as to what’s happening weekly with examples like the 2-club test.
But, as above, every sport deals with inconsistency & judgement issues resulting from the energy, excitement, & levels of competency of crews & staff.
Good segment on VanityIndex | @Skratch on @GolfChannel with @USGA @USGAMike
⛳️Great to hear of modern thinking making its way into course ratings (via the GHIN app). This will likely make a larger impact industry-wide than you expect. Many courses right now are unwilling to pay the cost & commit the time to host a rating team fiasco. And it’s a timestamp type rating anyway…very rarely current or able to account for man-made or other type changes/weather damage to a course (without formal re-rating). This modern update might even encourage courses to recommend the GHIN app be downloaded & used by course members as a result to maintain a current & accurate course rating.👏👏👏
⛳️Cool add of GPS, heat maps, rules AI, other information into the GHIN app. @WellsAdams quit hating on heat maps…information is not cheating.
⛳️PLACING the way to go for a “drop.”💯🎯
Easy to understand. Easy to implement. Time-saving rather than watching pros/players drop to corners of relief areas…2x, just to be able to finally place. Place within relief area granted, move on.

Feel like I’m getting old (& bitching) … or maybe it’s just a full season of this on a public golf course…but music on the golf course this season, damn.🤦♂️
Music to me is all about the volume, & I generally don’t care…but it’s highway speed now back to the beginning & volume 1000 & heard from over 100-yards away. And then actually worse, the same groups having to yell over it to be heard, which causes even greater disruption.
Keep jammin’ if that’s your thing … but turn it down where only you can hear it. 🎧🙉🎶
