Golf is the last major sport that has the athletes call penalties on themselves so that is why it would seem weird that a professional would DQ himself. Although, it has been done dozens of times when a golfer realizes they did not follow the rules. And I am not sure he was caught off guard because on his interview to ESPN, he stated that he dropped his ball two yards back (which means he knowingly gave himself the advantage which is the root of the issue). Sorry to go off on a tangent, it was probably more than you would ever care to know! Haha, but as Mr. bee pointed out, I can't stand the guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tiger-and-the-masters#post-714298 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:23:58 +0000 googly-eyes 714298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: Ah I see. I'm not a big golf watcher (obviously, lol.) He did sound glad/grateful to be allowed to continue playing in his interviews, even though it caught him off guard.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tiger-and-the-masters#post-714295 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:20:57 +0000 MrsHotDog 714295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: haha, what gave it away? </p> <p>@googly-eyes: other golfers have disqualified themselves before. They say golf is a game of integrity and the majority of players respect that. </p> <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: I can see how the committee made a mistake but at the same time, Tiger told on himself and signed the scorecard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tiger-and-the-masters#post-714285 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:13:23 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 714285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just think it's ridiculous that some old guy on his couch can call in and affect the game. A huge credibility problem for golf, IMO. This wouldn't be a controversy in any other sport, considering officials originally told him he did nothing wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tiger-and-the-masters#post-714282 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:09:47 +0000 googly-eyes 714282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Idk, he's an athlete...they generally don't do that, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tiger-and-the-masters#post-714281 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:09:00 +0000 mrbee 714281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: You sound like a big Tiger fan!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tiger-and-the-masters#post-714277 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:06:29 +0000 MrsHotDog 714277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are following The Masters, what's your take on the Tiger drama? Personally, I think he should DQ himself. He has too much baggage already following him and this just gives one more reason for people to not respect him. I think at some point he needs to consider his public image. </p> <p>P.S. Lindsay should dump him. </p>
