Some of the people on here I hope I never have to play with.
We constantly talk about why golf participation is declining yet we are basically saying win at all costs with no give or take between opponents. Very sad IMO.

Some of us want to play by the rules. Others want to waive the rules when it suits.
I know the type of person I'd rather be partnered with.

Lots of views on this so far, I think it could have been resolved a lot better, lee was clearly in the wrong, but I can understand why, however linsicombe apparently told her to not lift but was too late to stop her.
Peterson. Could have said its ok, but chose not, that's her call unless the captain stood in, which as we heard on TV, she chose not too.
As an aside, does anyone think the us team would have said nah it's ok? And not enforced the penalty?
The actual play though had been really impressive for the most part, and enjoyable.
If only they could speed up a bit, a problem in all pro golf unfortunately.

How about the person accidently plays the wrong ball ? Just a mistake
Shall every rule mistake just be ignored ?
These girls are playing in the biggest team comp on ladies golf and followed the rules yet seem to be getting the brunt of all the flak.
The us team would have done exactly the same thing
The spirit of the game is also to play within the rules and laws of the game - the Europeans played to those rules
Lee was warned twice yesterday and also understand her partner said something as well

What makes me laugh a few weeks ago a bloke on here got slated after his said a bloke in his club champs forgot to sign is card after the first round but a group of them got together and decided to break the rule out of "sportsmanship" and let him play.
Now the same people are saying rules should be broken for "sportsmanship"

Whilst I see your point. Playing the wrong ball is a very, vary rare occurrence in professional golf. Whereas gimmies happen on pretty much every green in this format. She was wrong to pick up, but I think your comparison is not a good one.

But they aren't "wrongs"

It's just an example of an accidental rule break - you can pick any of them
I think its massively unfair the amount of grief being heaped on people just for following the rules.

Posting pictures doesn't make it any different
A young 19 year old girl has ended up in tears over it because she is getting the grief yet has done nothing wrong.

Yep all she had to do was say that walking was an indication of a concession. Which she didn't. Her conscious is clear.

Imagine if Pettersen turned hers around and made the retaining/winning point...

The irony is that Pettersen could hole the putt to retain the Solheim Cup.
That'll leave a bitter taste.
