It’s not the officials job to tell someone the ball is lost, (unless teh stakes were white, we would have clarified to an that search time was up and the ball is lost or OB). It’s the officials job to time the search, assist in the search if they choose, (not mandatory), and work through the process of the rules. In…

After searching for 5 minutes the player, his marker and the official agreed that the ball was most likely in the hazard and proceeded.

If the stakes were white instead of red, it would have been a lost ball.

Doesn’t matter. If the official was certain the ball was not in the hazard he wouldn’t have looked in the hazard. If the official knew where the ball went, the ball would have been found. If the official was on the tee or on the right hand side of the fairway, he would have seen what the players saw, he wasn’t. …

Nope. Ian and Jordan agreed that the ball went in the hazard, so for all intents and purposes it was in the hazard. Play proceeded as per the Rules of Golf. Back and white.

First of all, Ian’ ball wasn’t confirmed as found anywhere. They showed a ball that was plugged in the pinestraw but that was never confirmed as Ian’s ball...so four things;

No...very clearly the ball wasn’t found in 5 minutes...by anyone, anywhere. I think we’ve covered that about 400 times so far you daft fuck. So what happens next according to the Rules of Golf? The official, the player and the marker meet to agree where the ball most likely went. In this case all three of them…

I didn’t read the article...but just the headline alone is one that makes me sad. Good lord. Is this next generation going to be the most outrageous group pf pussies ever spawned? Having the “crap scared out of them”?! by an “automatic flushing toilet”?! Is this the real life?

Ball wasn’t found in 5 minutes by ANYONE including the official who, for whatever reason was in the hazard looking along side Ian and Jordan...I’ll ask you again - why was the official looking in the hazard for Ian’s ball if he didn’t think it was in the there? Answer. because he thought it was in the hazard and made…

I would say that you should look at the rules of golf...but clearly they don’t suit you.

You lost me at some fucking mythical character from some over-rated series.

Sure...and in hindsight, Ian shouldn’t have hit his ball right....you’re a fucking special one, aren’t ya.

The official was only right in hindsight and after 5 minutes had passed, which is about as useful as the guy driving a mower finding it the next morning. Moot point.

I’m a little confused by this...is there ANY vegetable that you must eat eat cooked?

It doesn’t make sense to you, because you don’t know what you’re talking about. Again...if Poulter cheated then so did Jordan.

The official handled the situation wrong from the beginning. If Poulter cheated then so did Jordan. You’re stupid and you know nothing about golf or it’s rules.

I think that Tiger’s addiction to banging broads by the hoards comes from a childhood of being called a nerd and golf geek and a loser. He wasn’t good looking, he was a minority and he was a scrawny little golfer who was an easy target for bullies, (documented)...Now from there he get’s in in his head...”I’ll fucking…

Again...you don’t have a clue what happened. First of all, there was never a question about the ball being “out of bounds”, it was a red staked hazard. The questions were, was the ball in the hazard, or is the ball lost aka NOT in the hazard, but simply not found.

Wrong. All of it. Shut up.

Holy fuck you’re stupid. Stay away from this...you clearly don’t know fuck all about golf, let alone tournament golf, let alone the rules of golf, let alone what actually fucking happened on that hole. Go back to fucking..I dunno...MMA or soccer or some other shit you think you know anything about because right now…
