I am both a competitor and an official in a sport judged strictly by human observation. We racewalk judges are not supposed to listen to anyone else but base calls only on what we see. No photos, no instant replay. I’m less inclined to call Woods a whiner here.

I'm with you. How do you have a sport where non-participants have a say in the outcome? Imagine being Armando Galarraga: "Gee, Mr. Galarraga, we're awfully sorry that the umpire blew the call and stole your perfect game and baseball immortality from you, but there's nothing we can do about a call made on the field. Now, if you were a golfer, well that would be a different story. Joe from the 8 Mile could call in and fix things right up for you on that bad sand trap ruling." I know, let's put this into play tomorrow night at the Linc and give Ed Hochuli's number out to the Philly fans so they can text him that DeSean Jackson did get both feet in bounds or that Andy Reid was on the field during a play.

To all you Wonderful golfers...

I am always hitting from the Roughf or,forest,or swamp-

I have walked up to the ball in deep rough with twigs
and such - my foot touched a buried twig and the ball
moved (almost unseen) am I to give my self an added stroke?- or just pull a judge smails... and kick the ball?

LOL
