BTW, hitting a pin and having the ball careen off the green and into the water has to be one of the all time worst breaks in all of sports. Can anyone think of a worse one?
I have an annual golf trip that is a big grudge match with my golfing buddies. Two years in a row I hit a pin on the 9th hole and had the ball carom off the green, basically going from tap in birdie to having to get up and down for par. It's the worst feeling.

I agree, if it's not called right away, the forgettaboutit. Many golfers DQ themselves upfront, without someone calling it in.
Tiger didn't think that he did anything wrong. He was also told that he didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't until after the press conference that the error was pointed out. A recent rule change allowed to him to continue playing. There was no reason for him to DQ himself.
This.
If this was Phil or Bubba and not stiger people would be outraged he was penalizedat all.
He didn't think he did wrong, was told he did no wrong, then hours after he signs his card being told he played a legal round he gets told he didn't?

Didn't this happen to Tiger a couple years ago as well?

Bullshit.

Most golfers have DQ'd themselves after they found out. I'm not outraged or upset, I like Tiger, just stating facts from what I have seen watching golf over the years. The people that are outraged appear to be the expandos conspiracy against Tiger folks.
