Odd start on hole one for MPO. . i dont really "get" that OB rule
Kind of odd in a way that your rating depends on how the other players are doing, i can think a 62 is a 62
But i do understand why it have to be that way

D. A player may elect at any time to take optional relief by declaring their intention to the group. The lie may then be relocated by marking a new lie which is farther from the target, and is on the line of play. One penalty throw is added to the player's score.
E. No penalty throw is added if optional relief is being taken following a penalty taken for a disc out-of-bounds or above two meters.
At any point you can choose to take optional relief straight back on the line of play. Maybe there's a big bush in your face. Maybe your runup is rocky and uneven. Maybe you don't like your angle to the green. Whatever the reason is, you can go back on the LOP as far as you want at the cost of one penalty stroke. However, the rules committee doesn't want to double penalize you for being stuck under a big bush while coming off an OB stroke at the same time; they give you the relief for free since you already got a penalty stroke for being OB.
Seems hard to believe for someone just diagnosed with social anxiety and proclaimed to have a bad attitude.
how you do know she was diagnosed with social anxiety
Yes i can be fun to see somebody "new" on the live cards. . but, did the live get as many views without the top names on the cards?
You heard them say yesterday that the crowd followed Paiges card, very few people with the lead card
the MPO card have two big names that people like to follow, and two "new" thats not on the leadcard every week. . a nice mix
Pay him no mind. He was being mean about what I said earlier about having empathy for people whose behavior you don't understand.
Instead he doubled down. #classy
Mean? Innuendo, supposition and conjecture for the purpose of white knighting....that was my objection. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, assuming you had some insight beyond the above.

the "line of play", how decides that? can i just place my shot center fairway?
So i feel everytime you go OB it´s better to go a meter back and center fairway . . than to just take a meter from the OB line
Hole 7 the long par 5 yesterday as an example. . many went OB right, and played a meter from the wood line and had a bad angle . . so they could just have gone out to center fairway instead?
Ok, that makes more sense. . i first thought "line of play" was center fairway
But in the Paige case at Worlds ( can´t remember the hole ) she would have got a much better angle if she moved back a few meters in the line of play
I dont remember the hole you're referring to but the rule was only enacted last year I think, so a lot of players just aren't used to using it yet. Especially since the opportunity to use it really doesn't come up all that often.
