Do you have to actually nominate which option you are taking though? I've never heard anyone say you need to nominate an option... But like you say, if it's not on the same line then yeh it's illegal.
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2013 Season! (The MASTERS!!!!) Year Profit: -52.19pts : Illegal drop on 15. He opted to play his 5th shot from same place as 3rd shot. But he dropped it 2 yards further back. You can only drop it as far back as you want, if you drop it in line with where it crossed hazard. But he didn't choose this option. So he should get a 2 shot pen, but as he has already signed his card, means he should be DQ'd. Posted by splashies
But isn't the problem for Tiger that he did drop it in line with where the ball crossed the hazard, but not in line with where the ball entered the hazard?
Lol, you can what a big decision the ruling body at The Masters have now.

The stupid thing about all this, is I bet where he was meant to play it from (angle wise) was no more than a couple of yards away as well, same as where he last played his shot from, and he would of put his approach to exactly the same spot anyway.
Phew relief, I've never heard of u before Feilum Mac An Ionmaire, but I wanna kiss u lol. He is the spokesman for P Power, and has stated ALL bets on Tiger, whether Ante Post, or In-Running, will be refunded if he is DQ'd. Power to Paddy lol. Bet Victor already come out and said the same.

Yep thinking back to that line I spun at u the other month about u 'stiffing treacle' lol... Think Johnson's one of those who needs to sneak up late on a Sunday. Remember he imploded when leading the US Open at Pebble Beach the other year.
I see Power and Bet Victor betting 'odds on' he doesn't get DQ'd
Somethings gone on, Skybet pushed Tiger out to 6/1 Power 9/2, and betting on DQ disappeared, wondering if they've somehow given him a 2 shot penalty or something similar, which doesn't make sense.
all in billy hills as local lads shop giving shorter prices so drove intil the town DJ now 33's Kuch now 40's (!!) Phil 66's Keegan 66's Watney 150's : ) so glad i got these on on time, lads to be fair have stayed the same on them all (were'nt laying watney) as always prices can fluctuate, i shouldnt have any bother on mine would i?? considering theyve been changed only around the Tiger events ?

2 shot penalty for Tiger ! IF it was ANYONE else, would the same apply??......discuss. Not the first time he has dropped his balls in the wrong place BTW. Posted by MAXALLY
Ill discuss. . . Some obscure rule 33-7 covering a player unaware of a penalty returning an incorrect score. Where was this rule when Sky's Mark Roe was DQ'd on final morning of British Open when leading it?? Very fishy. I'd rather he had been DQ'd and I got my money back. Will take a mammoth psychological effort to come back now.
my old man was talking about a british player being DQ'd but couldnt remember the name. i take it thats who it is then. with all the hot air blown out i was gonna give one plus point towards his treatemtn by stating if he was unaware of the penalty obviously hed be unable to mark it but if theres this rule 33-7 and hasnt been amedned since the incident above then it should be one rule for all. and the stewards/patrons whoever you call them are hardly doing their job if theyve let this one slide until today, wasnt a murmur of it last night during the coverage as far as im aware
Watched the highlight programe this morning and it was mainly about controversy more than the golf regarding Guans penalty shot. Lot of golfers tweeting their support for him including gmac
Can you imagine what it would have been like if he,sd missed the cut because off it. And now Tiger gets a 2 shot penalty. I wonder if it was anyone else - the same punishment would apply or they,d get disqualified.
With Guan making the cut despite his shot penalty it wouldn,t suprise me to see Tiger win it noiw with his 2 shot penalty. I think it might have the opposite effect on him and make him even more determined to win. Shame if he does as he should have been dsqd imo
Anyone making the switch to BBC with Peter Allis and co today or sticking with Sky?

I might watch it on BBC and then perhaps later on Sky. Colin Mountgomerie is starting to do my head in on Sky, whereas I can listen to Peter Allis waffle all day long.
the rule was amended in 2011 as per pga website. in regards to the main hot topic at the moment, peter allis or monty?? like choosing whether you would like to be suffocated or drown, i choose the mute button
get the snorkel out phil!!! was always worth a tickle at 100/1 but most definately a crumpled docket now. all i wants DJ or Kuch to have a resonably good day and a sweat for tomorrow. is that too much to ask for???!!!

Rules of golf are harsh, but Tiger clearly satated that he moved 2 yards back to play the next shot.
This was obviously to his advantage and if it was outside the rules, I can't see how he won't be disqualified.
Jim Furyk did the same, but I take it his ruling must be different because his ball didn't cross the hazard?
Big shame if he is disqualified.
Lol, you can what a big decision the ruling body at The Masters have now.
