Wie DQed

I was just reading up on this. I had heard about it, but didn't know the details. Bamberger is an asshat. But I'll hold the LPGA responsible for this one. The media's job is to report the news, not make it. Nor are they to alter the sporting events they are assigned to cover. The LPGA, by allowing this jerk to come clean 24 hours after the incident occurred, and making a decision based on his tattle taling, allowed a non-participant to alter the outcome of a tournament and deprive two people of a paycheck.

They had no business allowing him to direct them in this matter and he had no business getting involved.

But if this is legal now, I'd like to propose that the Big Ten review footage of the 1950 Snow Bowl. The "touchdown" scored by scUM on the blocked punt was actually out of bounds and should have deemed a safety. We therefore win and I want the history books rewritten.

Sorry, Scooter. We lost that one 9-3, so switching scUM's TD to a second safety still gives them the win 4-3.

There should be a time limit, i.e., Statute of Limitations, for violations. I'd make it like the challenges in football where if you get the next play off before the challenge flag is thrown or the replay official buzzes in, then the previous play stands...in golf, make it so if a violation is not found by the start of the following round, it can't be penalized. If it occurs in the final round and it's not found by the time they issue the prize money, it can't be penalized. People that blow the whistle when hey're not an official part of the tournment are just doing it out of jealous payback.

I disagree, what if she chips that shot in and wins the tournament by one two days later?

I know that's splitting hairs but I've seen golfers disqualify themselves 2 rounds later.

Just chalk it up as lesson learned and make sure you ALWAYS call over a rules official so any heat falls back on them and not you.

I watched the Golf Channel last night in my flipping as they explained the rule. First things first they have up until the official close of the tournament to assess any penalty, but normally once the prize list is released to the press all rulings are final and you can't go back to change it.

In addition the way they explained it it was not the SI guy that caught it but of course SI is taking credit for it. But alot of people brought this to their attention Saturday night. Not sure if you know or not but any TV viewer can call in to claim that someone possibly broke a rule. I know I have heard about this countless times during PGA events.

Then they went on to explain that to be able to do a final ruling they had to recreate the event with Wie to determine if a rule was broken. This is why it took so long as they investigated the possible violation.

people are dqed all the time. im sorry but people call in dqs into the pga office on the phone all the time. it is part of the game. the reality is she violated a rule. golf is a gentlemans game, and she never ever should have played the shot. when she signed her card she swore to her score and following the rules of the game. she violated them, breeched her contract and thus was subject to the rules, disqualification.

I completely agree with this. Why agiain was bramberg even mentioning this to the officials. He's not even part of the LPGA he's part of the media and has no officiating powers.

That's why I hate the imperialistic, pompous, holier-than-God-Himself attitude the surrounds the game. I like to play golf and for the most part I agree with trying to keep the game as it is, but the PGA is pure arrogance at its worst. Wie made an honest mistake than no one, that's no one, else caught at the time. It took some spineless litte raisin-dick to snivel up to PGA officials more than a day later, after looking at replays, to say he "thought" she "may" have violated the rules. The punishment for what happened is way, way in excess of the violation, and no one better give me that "Well, that's golf" bullshit. If she should've taken a 2-stroke penalty because she played a ball closer to the pin than her original lie, then tack that onto her final score, and maybe add another stroke for failing to catch the mistake. But don't fucking disqualify her from the tournamanet and send her and her caddy home without anything. It's like executing someone for jaywalking...then again, why not, since the jaywalker knew the rules, right? :roll1:
