Tbh, the only thing I detected was a determination to see the rules of golf being applied and I seriously doubt anyone would have thought twice about saying something if it had been another golfer. Golf is all about rules and they apply to everyone who plays the game. Those of us who play, understand that so when we see a violation at the pro level, we're going to have an opinion. Nothing more

But he did gain AN advantage and there in lies the problem. Golf may contain some silly rules to some but they are the rules, they are there for a reason and they should apply to everyone. Still, I'm not going to let this ruin my enjoyment today. I've always been a fan of Tiger on the course I just hope he doesn't win today

He's gotten off with the two stroke penalty for two reasons. Firstly, the Masters committee deemed he did not do it intentionally allowing the new rule to come into play. Secondly, they claim they had already made their decision before Tigers post round comments and viewer call ins. However, Tigers post round comments certainly indicate that he did intentionally make his drop 2 yards further back. That definitely is cheating and regardless of what the Masters committee had deemed, Tiger , in the best interests of the game itself and the tournament, should have stepped up to the plate and withdrawn from the competition. If he ends up winning the tournament, it'll definitely be a tainted win for me but even if he doesn't, his continued participation has meant that another other golfer has missed out on an opportunity to play the weekend rounds and collect a paycheck for his efforts.

Seems the rules were changed last year and disqualification for signing the wrong card was replaced by a two stroke penalty for the offence itself. Fair enough but I have to say, I'm not happy with Tiger for not declaring it in the first place and having the judges rule on his score after the round. Not against the rules but not very classy
-
Totally agree CP. I'm just thinking that there has to be some good reason he's been allowed to continue because I'll be absolutely dumb founded and pissed if they've made up a rule exclusively for him. If they have and he wins the tournament, may as well throw all the rules of golf out the window. Tbh, this has already tainted the tourney for me. Good thing Tianglan Guan made the cut or I'd turn it off
-
Well, he's still in the tournament and sitting in second place at the moment. Have to say that after signing the wrong score card yesterday,I don't think he shouldn't be playing at all but there must be some rule exclusive to the Masters that I'm not aware of.

Very sorry to hear this reswati. Yes, time does heal but trusted friends with your best interests at heart can be helpful too. Not a good time to do anything rash though. Sit back and allow yourself some time to heal before making any. That may sound a little lame but I think it's sound advice and advice that I've learned to listen to the hard way. Wishing you nothing but success and future happiness

Congrats to Babs for picking a nice group of players and winning the pool Nothing wrong with the way you ran the pool Rich. That's the Masters and we all know that Augusta can make the very best of golfers look bad. That's the beauty of the tournament. Thanks for stepping up to the plate and putting the pool together

RIP Jonathan Winters . You were way ahead of your time !
-
Yeah, what a great story the kid Tianglan Guan is ! A very likable young man and took his two stroke penalty with class. McDowell missing the cut has cost me a chance at the pool but this tourney is turning out to be one of the most interesting in years. Looking forward to some outstanding golf and rooting for Tianglan
