i agree with the wie decision , she wasn't losing her balance

1. Old Molly wouldn't have gone in the hazard and played that shot.

2. Rules are rules. They apply to everyone.

I had a woman that was a member at a course I worked at for years not speak to me for a very long time because I DQ'd her and her 2 playing partners from a tournament
