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.

Playing against the men again this week. Please. Shouldn't she have to win something on the LPGA tour first. She has been so messed up, I doubt she'll ever win on any tour.

She needs to do porn.

So f*cking crazy. She is no longer a draw...I understand the sponsors are entitled to handing out 1 or 2 exemptions...but at least give them to some guy who actually needs to play, needs the opportunity and hasn't signed a $20 million dollar contract with Nike. I hope she shoots 90.

Such bullsh*t.

I hear what you're saying but if she did produce it would be a great story. Kinda like Sean O'hare who escaped the grip of his father and played great since. She's got talent. I'd say give her anothr year and if it's the same old story, she's toast. But she may get it together.....if she remembers to sign her score card..

Thats a big damn if Spyder. I just think there are way too many guys out there, busting their ass trying to make a living at this game, that are more deserving of an exemption than she is.
