Someone explain this to me 'cause I must be STUPID, I just don't get it;
I run out on the field to talk to the referee, I get decked by some 300 pound monster; then I get arrested and thrown out;
I run out onto the diamond to talk to an umpire, I get tackled, arrested, and charged with trespass;
I slide out onto the ice to talk to a referee, slip, break my teeth, then get arrested;
I go to a golf game, rat out a player for dropping her ball 12 inches closer to the hole (but still half a county away), and SHE gets disqualified and loses her 'purse'?
Excuse me, but I just have to say this:
WWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?
She didn't get disqualified for making a closer shot. She got disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. That's because at the time she signed it, it was correct. But after Bamberger got the officials back out there after her round was over, they declared the error which is a two-stroke penalty.
Imagine if football games or baseball games were changed long after play was over. "I'm sorry, Mr. Torre, but we've now decided the ball was foul. Your team doesn't get the double so you've lost instead of won. Sorry."
If they are going to punish a golfer, it should be before the round is over. That part of the rules is what really sucks.
