So you can reply to me but I cannot comment. Strange outlook to have given you and your entourage are the ones repeatedly asking me to justify my interpretation of someone breaching the rules.

He signed the card knowing he had broken the rules. To day he did not breach any rules is naive in the extreme.

You do realise the "just about" part which you choose not to highlight, in actual fact confirms that he did not carry the ditch from the ladies tee. If I 'just about' hole a putt, it means I've missed the putt. Just about means nearly, so he's back in the ditch a 2nd time. The ladies tee could...

Golf balls are a part of a players equipment. You can't just deem a ball a practice ball during play of a hole, especially when the original ball is in a ditch and it is perfectly plausible that they need to take a penalty drop. The fact they placed it on a tee instead of dropping it opens up a...

So you agree the players were at fault. Thank you for agreeing. My scenarios were to clarify a glaring error in the guidance provided. Fetching a ball out of your bag when you have hit a ball in a ditch does not make it a "practice" ball and hence "practice" shot. You hit your ball, you fetch...

He didn't clear the ditch with the 2nd ball, so nobody knows what would have happened if he did. I can't explain something when I don't have all the details. I will ask again, what makes a ball a "practice" ball? How do you declare such a thing, given it's prohibited? If you hit a ball off...

We have no FACTS on this. We have one person's version and little in terms of how the situation was reported, investigated or the reason behind the final outcome. To try to defend and give a 'get out' for the DQ is plain stupid. If the OP had said "why did you hit driver, you can't clear the...

You call it practice. I don't. His ball was in a ditch and he teed up a new ball. That's not practice. If we go by your reasoning, anyone that tees up again without declaring a provisional ball can just claim to be "practicing" and take a general play penalty if they balloon the reload oob and...

The penalty applied was not more severe than it should have been. You may think it is, myself, and the Committee involved apparently don't. We have limited info regarding the situation but the little we do know highlights an act which is not permitted during a competitive round.

The player made the mistake...willingly due to a silly challenge from the OP. The OP also has not provided any info regarding whether clarification was sought from the player in question. They may have contacted him and asked, "did you tee off at hole x from the ladies tee." The player may have...

Im unsure what other outcome the OP would have expected and see no scope for appealing anything. It seems clear, to me at least, that whoever witnessed the incident and reported it, seen the FC teeing off at the wrong tee. One of the options was to tee off again, given the person was in the...

Funny that. I didn't mention that the guy getting the cut was querying it but you jumped in asking why and saying he should accept it and be happy....thanks anyway:ROFLMAO:

Annual prizegiving tonight at the club and the M&H confirmed the cut was due to him winning the doubles comp and having a few good rounds. He said he was cutting others for the same reason. I'm not convinced it's valid but its a battle for someone else to fight as I'm not really involved and...

He shot 88 off 24, so net 64. He had a 3 shot adj which took it to a net 61 for handicap purposes. CSS was 70 that day.

He's not queried it, it's me that thinks he maybe should. I just think it's a bit harsh to cut him 4 shots on top of the cuts he's already received. He shot 88 once and it is the only time he has ever shot under 90. Off 18, he'd need to shoot 87 to play to what is the normal CSS of 69 at our...
