There was nothing wrong with his 1st drop other than it fell into a bad lie which he didn’t like. The rules officials are too soft imo.

Incorrectly so though. It would only be so because most members of your club dont really know the rules of golf.If you did these shenanigans at your club you’d be branded a cheat

At least it was obvious which tree it was up against!

The 17th on the course in Thailand this week....looks interesting
A genuine island green - you need a boat ride to get there.!

Id have thought the other way round...
Maybe if the boat is in the woods

Perhaps similar to a debate on another thread for us social golfers, where do people fall on the subject of manufactured tee groupings in the pro game?
It is nothing new, but in these unchartered times it may well be ramping up some notches.
Is it ultimately entertainment, with a commercial angle - the 'marquee groups' are what many fans want, tv and sponsors. So do it.
Or should it represent the bastion of fair and open competitio - if a 'name' is randomly drawn early, late, or with lowly ranked players - that is just how it should be.

Professional Golf is an entertainment business! So absolutely appropriate to have 'marquee' groupings to maximise both viewer numbers and income! Random draws are for the likes of qualifying or for amateur events, where commercial consideration is minimal.

Strategic alliance between tours working brilliantly for World #34 Thomas Pieters. He's not salty at all!

Less contentious with Pat Reed not playing Riviera....there's pairs of those palm trees on the course!

Watching Tiger at Riviera.....
He's still limping noticeably
I think Riviera is relatively flat but even so I think he may struggle bearing in mind he played the Pro/Am yesterday.
5 rounds walking on the bounce....we'll see....literally because they're showing every shot.

I did notice he seems able to crouch down much lower into his haunches than he was last year at the open and the masters where he just literally bent over a bit to read the greens.
180mph ball speed with the driver still - the guys a beast.
