I find it to be a careless mistake she made, and everybody makes them. She makes more stupid mistakes than most. Her and Andruw B. Whiffin'-Jones are fck ups. It's amazing how we tolerate bad calls in other sports, but disqualify a golfer for not signing their card until reminded to do so. Letting somebody start a new round, and then telling them they can't remain in the tournament(for something done after the previous round) is absurd. If you can't get it done before they tee off for their next round, then it should be too late. The NBA has often admitted officials should of done this or that, but the result stands. The game is over. Maybe the series isn't over, but the game is. That's the way I feel about this,too. If they can't get it done before she tees off for her next round, then it should be too late. Outrageous the way golfers see nothing wrong with a player grinding out a round, and then being told that round won't count. To me, not telling her before she started a new round, should mean they have to overlook what she did. The LPGA needs to take responsibility for not getting this stuff done before another round starts. Doesn't matter why they didn't get it done. They didn't get it done, and they allowed a player to play a round wihout it counting. How about somebody being responsible for that mistake instead of blaming volunteers or whoever. Get it done before the round starts, or eat your mistake.
The rules of Golf are sacred.

I think the old fellas relish knowing every rule.
