But where did the ball go out of bounds? Annika maintained that the ball's path took a turn at the last minute eo she was able to take a drop well up the fairway. Paula said that was bunk. Paula's position seemed much more believable--but without proof the player's claim stands no matter how unlikely--or at least it did at that time.<br /> <br /> With Jeong Jang's double hit at the US Open there seemed clear evidence of a double hit--but the officials went with Jeong's assertion that she did not double hit it--and then later changed their view. It seems that a willingness to believe almost anything the player says in a situation like this may be a thing of the past.

If she honestly didn't know the rule, then she didn't "cheat", but she's merely stupid.<br /> <br /> Let me ask you this, when you golf, do you kick the ball back into the fairway when you're stymied by a tree? Do you hit multiple putts from the same spot? Do you give yourself a 4 when you really should have a 6? <br /> <br /> OK, I "cheated" on the last one. That's what Michelle Wie did. Until she was called on it.

Sounds defensive to me. Maybe it's bullying too but maybe this is your real job--pity.<br /> <br /> If you need to ask when it's appropriate to bash someone, then you are still in the high school bullying mode. Why ask such a silly question. Are you serious? <br /> <br /> If, for instance, half of what is pettily written about Michelle is written about you ( for some reason let's say that you become actually good in some areas of endeavor and many decide to target you-heaven forbid!) you will perhaps be in a constantly depressed state, take to drinking, become homeless--wow this is very depressing. <br /> <br /> Just by judging from your reaction to my post--you wrote about someone "wallowing in mud" was it? and being "disgusted" with the likes of me. Such brave words. I can only surmise that your life is quite cloistered if you find yourself "disgusted" by such posts. <br /> <br /> Tim, in the real world, there is alot to be disgusted with and what Michelle Wie does or doesn't do is not one of them. There are professional and amateur athletes who are being arrested for murder, drinking and driving, illegally betting, use banned substances, some even really cheat in the real sense of the word, shall I keep going? Those things are beyond disgusting.

Are you saying you know more about the rules of golf, and the infraction at hand, than the R&amp;A rules committee? You're sounding more and more like a fool.
