Whichever way you break a rule, by definition it is cheating.

You're very clear, breaking a rule is cheating, whether you were aware of it or not.

Ignorance is no defence

Reinforcing your point, breaking a rule is cheating and ignorance is no excuse.

We only learn the rules by making mistakes and getting them pointed out (or doing silly things) and as long as its done properly no-one is trying to use the word cheat.

But now it isn't cheating? Make your mind up! These posts are all within half an hour of each other. Do you put any thought into your posts?

A very common sense assessment by Rory.

I'm just wanting my post count to increase.

Don't watch videos on my phone, and since GM would rather take money and render their site unusable with stupid adverts I only use my phone to browse the forum.

Brandel Chamblee is tearing him a new one, in at least two separate interviews I've watched now, it's quite funny.

Common query that has been cleared up before. It’s not advice. Similar to telling someone to ‘take care’.

just watched him tee off on the first was getting plenty from the crowed, on guy shouted something about a spade in his bag and when he hit his drive, get in the bunker was the cry and a huge cheer when it did.

 

[Jacko_G]

I actually think he got off very lightly. Wasn't too much heckling at all that I heard.

i only switched it on for a few mins so only saw the tee shots, he got boo'd when they introduced him and a few shouted stuff though it was difficult to hear it all onthe than shovel and get in the bunker. TBH the crowds didn't look that big from limited bit i saw

I've seen this all over social media and I still cant see any issue with it at all. Its called banter.

Crowd giving it to him, he is giving it back. No moral high grounds, no nastyness just banter in my opinion.

Wow, just about sums Reed up in a video clip. He's 0-4 in teamplay in the last 2 team events, maybe concentrate on winning games instead of celebrating the fact you're a cheat. Can't stand him.

Yes agree with this ,he is entitled to give it back.

My main concern is the ruling bodies considered what he did just a 2 shot penalty.
It was deliberate cheating .
But the crowds are letting him know what they think .
The ruling bodies would be wise to listen to what the ordinary golfer thinks of cheating .

Just to be clear, your choice of words implies USGA/R&A ie the ruling bodies - in this case the decision was entirely made by the tournament committee at the event.

The ruling bodies have to follow the rules, and the rule is a two stroke penalty.

Yes i know but don’t they have discretion for a serious breach of the rules?

I don’t believe so. I believe the RoG sets out the penalty for each type of infraction. Improving your lie is the general penalty, which is two strokes.
