Congratulations, Adam Scott.

It is stupid to not watch golf because Tiger is in it. It is just as stupid to not watch golf because Tiger is not in it.

I thought it was great when Bubba Watson won it last year, too. Even if Tiger was nowhere to be found.

You obviously don't know what is going on in golf.......................... .Tiger gets special treatment on and off the course....and rule violations is not the exception................

......But EVERYBODY is playing under the new rules so there is nothing unfair about it. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Actually, I do know what's going on in golf. It is the same thing that happens in every other sport. What you wrote is entirely possible - and NOT because of his race. But because he is a big winner and the face of the game.

The top players in EVERY sport get shown favoritism - even when it comes to foul calls in basketball and hockey.

Michael Jordan and many other top players were protected from rough play more than journeymen were and the 3-step rule for traveling was merely a suggestion when he was driving for a slam dunk.

Wayne Gretsky also got protected from rough checks that would have been treated as hard but clean hits if they were made on most any other player.

That's reality. It has nothing to do with race.

But there is nothing about this particular ruling that indicated favoritism. They assessed a two-stroke penalty. But you seem to be convinced that the ONLY acceptable penalty is disqualification - despite the fact that the rules were relaxed for the specific purpose of NOT having so many DQs.

Actually there is alot about this ruling that screams favoritism.................... ..

And many golf analyst/commentators agree......................... .

btw, I never said racism was involved...I only asked the question..........and I never said the only acceptable penalty is disqualification.....and there are very few DQ issued in the PGA tour.

It begs the question why you get so many of your assumptions wrong?

The Masters ruling committee made multiple errors in this issue; all worked to the benefit of Tiger; there is a bias (by the PGA) to Tiger's favor on the PGA tour..you can deny it, but it is well documented.

Trendaway seems to be one of, if not the only, poster left who still clings to his distorted version of professional golf's rules as it relates to the 2 shot penalty assessed to Tiger. Facts be damned he will not change his mind.

I am beginning to believe that Trendy is a train wreck waiting to occur!

Actually there is a lot about this ruling that screams favoritism You didn't say "favoritism". I did. YOU said racism - right in the title of the post.

And many golf analyst/commentators agree... Name ONE that said race had anything to do with it.

Bullshit. The only reason you asked the question in the first place was to insinuate that racism was involved.

If it wasn't in your mind, you wouldn't have asked it.

But it does begs the question why you think the rest of us have to believe the lame rationales you serve up.

I don't know why you just don't say just you mean, and stand by your words. If it's bullshit, you'll get called on it just like every other asshole in here.

Don't be such a drama queen every time someone questions your conspiracy drivel.

Remember who brought it up.

Or would you prefer we show FAVORITSM?

Actually Rory McElroy had this very rule applied to him at a tournament in Dubi but since he is white Whirlaway made no mention

nice payouts today ...hell I'll take the cash for 61st place

Ah, one of our self-appointed experts and self-styled curmudgeon (I prefer "asshole," but that's just me) STRIKES AGAIN!!!

Heh, he's wrong on the premise to the OP, wrong on the meaning of the rule and wrong on the "bigness" of the story. Sure, all of the announcers as well as ESPN were pimping it in hopes of turning it into something other than what Eldrick his ownself put to rest with his tweet early Saturday morning. They shined a light in a dark corner and revealed.....a corner.

Perhaps the bigger news is Adam Scott's penchant for the pelvic thrust when winning. He did it on the 72nd hole when he drained the long putt for birdie and again when he won on the second hold of the playoff. Must be an Aussie thang.

Oh well, 0 fer 3 is PAR on Trendy's course, of course.

Whirly do you call Glenn Beck and LovingKayla Mom and Dad?

I think Scott was simply doing The Time Warp again!

Uh, this is golf, right? It has no relevance to everyday life. So who the hell cares?
