Golf Has Too Many Dumb Rules

Anyone watch the LPGA ANA Inspirational Finals? What did you think of the win? Do you agree with the ruling against Lexi?

I for one, think golf has too many outdated, ridiculous rules. I feel so sorry for her, as well as all the golfers (not fair to Suzann to play beside all the controversy, and not fair to So Yeon to have the thrill of victory taken away from her). The public should stay out of it and leave the officiating up the officials.

I should only hope my daughters can learn to have as much resilience and drive when facing life's obstacles. Lexi handled it in such a mature and classy manner. Luckily, this is not the last we've heard from this talented young woman.

What happened?

Someone emailed the LPGA this morning that Lexi replaced her ball down like a centimeter away from her marker yesterday. Because she turned in her scorecard, she was penalized 2 strokes for the infraction, and 2 strokes for turning in a wrong scorecard.
She ended up in a tie and lost in a playoff.

What a bunch of losers. Like a centimeter really makes a difference? Sheesh!

Absolutely ridiculous. I'm not even a real golf fan, and not too familiar with Lexi. But I was just amazed at how composed she was and how she carried herself.
