Golfregler, selvjustis og dillemmaer..
Posted: 24 Aug 2011, 22:47
Fant en litt interessant artikkel om diverse hendelser hvor spillere har dømt straffeslag mot seg selv. Noen ganger kan golfreglene være litt av et dillemma, som sakset ut nedenfor:

"Mallon knows all too well. One year at the LPGA event in Toledo, Ohio, she was leading the tournament through one round. But in the second round, she had an instance when her ball hung on the lip of the cup, vacillating. "I thought if the ball was still moving, the 10-second rule didn't apply," Mallon said.
This was particularly difficult because Mallon found herself in a quandary. If you strike a moving ball, that's a penalty. If you wait more than 10 seconds to play a ball that is on the edge of the cup, it's a penalty. She waited ... and the ball dropped in!
Unfortunately, it wasn't until after she signed her scorecard that Mallon got to wondering about the rule. She consulted a rules official the next morning. They viewed tape of the incident, and 19 seconds had passed. She should have assessed herself a 1-stroke penalty. Because she didn't, Mallon signed an incorrect scorecard. And when players sign for a score that is lower than what they shot, it means disqualification. "
Er jo et dilemma hun måtte ta en avgjørelse på iløpet av 10 sekunder, som uansett ville gitt straffeslag etter hennes vurdering. Tøft å bli diskvalifisert for det..
Er det forresten noen som vet NÅR man skal starte å telle de 10 sekundene? Er det fra man kommer frem til ballen, fra ballen har kommet til ro eller evt. fra annet tidspunkt? Synes forøvrig det er altfor streng straff med straffeslag hvis man venter 11 sekunder, men forstår at man må ha en grense et sted. Advarsler og evt. bøter for proffene, samme som for sakte spill, hadde vært mer passende. For oss vanlige amatører så telles det vel sjelden, selv i klubbmesterskap..
