Lots of rules. . at one point someone on the card reminded Hailey King that she could re-putt from her lie instead of going down the hill to where her putt rolled OB
A rule often forgotten
Nice to see cardmates stepping up like that too.
Insight you say? Oh, I've got LOADS of that. Have a seat, lay back and just relax. You're in a safe space now ru4por!
See, it takes a special brand of insecurity to get offended when encouraged to feel empathy for a girl who is clearly going through some internal struggles.
I am here for you though! I'd be happy to break it down for you if you feel you want help working through those socially crippling egocentric insecurities and the defense mechanisms they clearly trigger for you. That's a sad way to go through life and I feel bad for you, just out there flapping in the breeze, all emotionally tender and angry. Poor thing! Lmk, insight for days my man!
Humans, projecting gods.
the "line of play", how decides that? can i just place my shot center fairway?
I think it was this hole, she went OB and took her shot from the "X" . .she could have moved back to my "O" and got a better angle ?
So at worlds when Paige did go OB into a big bush and had to stretch out max to even get a desent angle. . she could just have walked back in the line of play and played from there?
Guessing you took a couple psych classes, or perhaps have read Psychology Today a few times? You come to the forum, do some amateur psychology analysis on one of the leading FPO players, then give Rupor crap for calling you out on it? My suggestions would be to do some amateur psych on yourself.
She could have. But remember that to do so costs a stroke. Assuming she knew the rule and remembered it, she still had to decide if backing up and then throwing one shot (2 strokes) would have been an advantage over throwing from her original lie and then throwing a second shot (2 strokes).
If she was already OB there is no additional penalty for taking relief on the line of play. You don't have to take two penalty strokes if you go OB, just the one for going OB.
If the previous throw was not OB then yes, you would have to take an extra penalty stroke for taking optional relief.
Caveat: I have not watched this yet so I don't know if the throw went OB.
Not Sure that it was Paige. .BUT quite a few players went OB at that spot and i never saw anyone use the "line of play" rule
But OB at that spot just made them pitch out, so using the rule could have saved a stroke
I can really see this rule to be a big advantage to use in quite a few cases
But we have no idea if she even have social anxiety, we just trying to "excuse" her sometimes odd behavior?
Others already answered it, but here it is in the rulebook:

The line of play is the imaginary line on the playing surface extending from the center of the target through and beyond the center of the marker disc.

What does this even mean? Way too many "philosophers" "psychologists" and "experts" posting on DGCR nowadays.
You have to keep in mind what a rating is. A lot of people misinterpret a rating as a measure of your skill level related to the course. Your rating is produced in part thanks to your skill level relative to the course, but that isn't what the rating is. A rating is a measure of how you play relative to the rest of the golfers on a given day/given conditions. Your rating specifically depends on how other players are doing, and is nothing more or less than that.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
