I've been ready to say this since the thread popped up, but didn't want to sound like a dirty old man.

That is exactly what she needs (as soon as she turns 18 of course).

If she stays out there long enough...one of two things is gonna happen.

1. Starts liking women

or

2. A caddy ends up tapping that ass

MW shoots an 83 today...hints she might not play the 4th round? Definately in her own world!

[GPK]

maybe she thought Daddy would sign her scorecard for her

[golfer]

I realize there's not a whole lot of sympathy for her, but PGA tournament golf sure has some absurd, bizarre and antiquated rules! I'm sorry, but disqualified because she had walked a few feet too far away from the scorer's tent before someone caught her and reminded her to sign her scorecard? That's just a tad ridiculous, don't you think?

Golf does have some strange rules. To me the dumbest one is rule 16-1a/13, not allowing you to fix a spike mark.

You gotta play the green your ball lands on and not mess with the integrity of a green otherwise guys would be patting down every imperfection slowing play to a crawl. Soft spikes shouldn't rip up a green as bad as the metal ones.

You gotta play the green as it lies other than a ball mark which is considered a
potential defect.

Nope...it's the same for everyone. As long as everyone is playing under the same rule, there is nothing unfair about it. And this isn't just PGA Tournament golf...the same thing goes in amatuer competition as well. Michelle has been playing in tournament long enough to know the rule.

I couldn't agree more with you on this one. It was just kinda strange that allegedly the rules officials track her down in the parking lot Friday and have her sign the card and accept it.

The next day she plays the whole 18 and puts up a nice number. A full 24 hours later they disqualify the kid.

1) Doesn't it look like they let her play the 3rd round so they would have the gate of her being there given the lack of star power on the first page.

2) It's too bad the rule doesn't have something in it about a) a rules official accepting a players card. b) Once a player plays a full round the next day the signature thing on a card prior is mute or the rule is for the day of play.

The volunteers in the scoring tent are not rules officials. The volunteers tracked her down.

I don't think it is unfair, just silly. The game has changed a bit since these rules were created in the late 1800's. Frankly, it's not even necessary for the player's to keep their own score anymore, with shotlink, volunteers and rules officials following every group, etc..
I'm not making excuses for what she did, but this agregious violation of the rules did not occur on the course, and as Doc wrote, wasn't even dealt with until the next day, after she had already completed a round that didn't count.
They did away with the stymie, they need to go back into their biblical book of rules and update them. Just my opinion.

When do you make the cutoff then for time allowed to sign their scorecard? Do you call the player at their hotel that night and say "Hey, Michelle, forgot to sign your scorecard today, make sure you sign it in the morning before you tee off"???The scoring tent is there for a reason....TO SIGN YOUR SCORECARD. It's NO ONES responsibility to make sure their card is signed other than the players themselves....not the volunteers, not the officials. Every tournament I have ever played in and every round I ever caddied in on the LPGA, the people working the scoring tent always remind the players to have 2 signatures on the card. Not once have I ever been in a scoring tent as a player or caddy where someone didn't mention it. It's Michelles fault, plain and simple. I assure you, this happens more frequently than people realize, on every tour. We just happen to hear about it because it was Ms. Wie and she was near the lead.

I agree. It's the same for everybody, but it's not an excuse for it being a stupid rule that should be left behind. Just because everybody can possibly get terminal cancer, doesn't make it a cool thing. Still awful, and so is somebody geting disqualified for something done off the course. 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.
