a 14-year old makes the cut, Tiger&#8217;s two-stroke penalty, a dramatic playoff win&#8230;lots of stuff to talk about.\u00a0 But I don&#8217;t want to do that.\u00a0 Everyone is going to be talking about the obvious stuff.\u00a0 Instead, I have a couple of questions.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s starts with the 14-year old.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve asked before if it&#8217;s good to have a <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/is-teenage-competitor-good-for-golf.html\">kid playing in a tournament<\/a> when a 16-year old played in the 2011 U.S. Open.\u00a0 But a 14-year old at The Masters?\u00a0 Are you kidding?\u00a0 This kid&#8217;s mother was packing his lunch and meanwhile he&#8217;s keeping pace with Phil Mickelson at Augusta!\u00a0 Great story, but my question is the same as it was two years ago &#8211; when a 14-year old is going stroke-for-stroke with some of the greats of the game, does that cheapen the sport or, at least, the tournament?\u00a0 Does it make you look at the pro&#8217;s with a little bit less respect?<\/p>\n<p>My next two questions though involve the Tiger controversy.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll start with the ruling itself.\u00a0 So everyone was hung up on the &#8220;as closely as possible&#8221; part of the rule.\u00a0 The only real voice of reason I heard was from Curtis Strange when he said that as closely as possible could be determined as 6-8 inches &#8211; not 3-4 feet!\u00a0 I have to agree.\u00a0 When I hear &#8220;as closely as possible&#8221; I think &#8220;right beside.&#8221;\u00a0 So to stand 3-4 feet behind where your shot was, you&#8217;re opening up a can of worms.\u00a0 I mean, where is the &#8220;as closely as possible&#8221; line drawn?\u00a0 What if his original shot was on a downhill lie and he then dropped 3-4 feet back onto a flat part of the fairway?\u00a0 What then?\u00a0 Would that be fair?\u00a0 Would that be judged differently?<\/p>\n<p>Even further&#8230;how is this giant loophole left open by the rule-makers?\u00a0 How can you leave something like that up to interpretation?\u00a0 If someone else did the same thing but moved 3-4 feet closer, is that the same?\u00a0 What if they moved 6-8 feet one way or the other?\u00a0 That certainly isn&#8217;t as close as possible either.\u00a0 But&#8230;that&#8217;s all up for debate I guess, right?<\/p>\n<p>But the whole controversy brings me to another issue.\u00a0 Why is it that this day in age, with all of the officials, rangers, scorekeepers, etc. on the course that the player is responsible for keeping his own score?\u00a0 Granted, we all keep our own scores when we play, but this is the pros, man.\u00a0 Every professional sport has an official scorekeeper.\u00a0 Why not golf?\u00a0 A golfer is expected to sign his scorecard (in a designated area mind you) and remember the entire round?\u00a0 Why wouldn&#8217;t an official be doing that for him?\u00a0 This sport really needs to move out of the dark ages and update some of their rules.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just silly and leads to stupid controversies such as this that take away from the game itself.<\/p>\n<p>And just on a side note&#8230;inputting a rule to protect the players who don&#8217;t know the rules is absolutely ridiculous.\u00a0 Seriously, is this a professional sport, or is it me and my buddies playing on a Sunday morning at the local muni?\u00a0 If you&#8217;re going to play the game, you&#8217;d better know the rules.\u00a0 Ignorance is not an excuse.\u00a0 In the NFL, if a player doesn&#8217;t know something he did is a penalty, do the refs say &#8220;Oh, you didn&#8217;t know?\u00a0 OK, well then instead of a 15-yard penalty it&#8217;ll just cost you five.&#8221;\u00a0 If an NBA player didn&#8217;t realized he traveled before hitting a layup, do they let him keep one of the two points?\u00a0 Of course not!\u00a0 The rule is enforced!\u00a0 They don&#8217;t implement another rule because the guy didn&#8217;t know!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again &#8211; for a sport that shouldn&#8217;t be nearly as complicated as it is, the rule-makers sure do their best to make it that way.\u00a0 I mean, if you need to have a rule book, and then a separate book to, more or less, decipher the rule book&#8230;you have a problem.\u00a0 This all boils down to the reason I don&#8217;t carry, don&#8217;t own and have never even thumbed through the rules of golf&#8230;nor do I have any plans to do so.\u00a0 You could drive yourself nuts!\u00a0 Don&#8217;t drive yourself nuts &#8211; know the basics and play for fun.<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For starters, I guess it was a pretty great tournament.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t take the time to watch much more than a few minutes of the final round (for the most part, I got my updates from ESPN), but I&#8217;ll take everyone&#8217;s word for it.\u00a0 Lot&#8217;s of stories &#8211;
