Now listen... I know that there is a flood of tweets and blog commentary that is squarely against Michelle Wie in this case. I also understand that she has been in trouble with rules violations before, but COME ON!?
When does common sense and fairness in golf prevail over the minor vicissitudes of play! Do we want the best player to win tournaments, or do we want some meaningless judgement to decide the winner?
This is much like the moronic rule that would see a player disqualified from a tournament for not properly signing their scorecard - in purple ink, while hopping on one leg and chanting to the scented candle on the score keepers desk, right after Boo Weekley has added your score up all wrong, of course! ...or something like that.
Sometimes, wrong is wrong and sometimes wrong is just... well, not such a big deal. I have enough stress from yelling at football officials and hockey officials without having to worry about Golf!!!
Having said this, here is a link to a more learned opinion than mine. http://blogs.golf.com/presstent/2010/03/the-rule-guys-take-on-wies-penalty.html
