If someone is willing to pay $500 or $1000 or whatever for a frickin' putter, RW would be foolish NOT to take it.

I'm happy to see that someone other than myself thinks JohnE foot faults all the time and doesn't called out.

Or he could just, you know, do whatever he wants with it because you know...its his.
Its a step putt. Paul Ulibari does it all the time. There's a video somewhere that shows the slow-motion, and although its close, the disc does leave his hand before the foot touches the ground.
Haven't kept up with this thread, so forgive me if I'm being redundant, but did anyone else feel JEM complaining about people moving 100' or more away was ridiculous? IF he wants to make more $ and IF he wants a larger gallery, he's going to have to get used to it and stop being such a cat.

It's common to see posters in forums and social media talk about JohnE's poor behavior. So it's not surprising at all that he would complain about the gallery.
By the way, Ricky had putt-fall (or whatever they call it) and was expecting to be called on it, but the others didn't bother. If that had been McBeth, he'd have called it on himself, and IMHO Ricky should've done the same. The penalty is to have to re-throw and no further penalty for a first offense, so likely there was no harm in the non-call. But c'mon guys, you gotta call it for the sake of the integrity of the game...
Depends upon which putt was shown. Ulibarri generally is good about releasing the disc in time, but there were a couple of times where McCray was close, and on one of those times I'm sure he foot-faulted.
As I've said before, it's like the bang-bang play at first base in baseball. And if other players don't call it, whether out of fear or apathy, then the only solution is to ban step putts entirely.

Huh? You lost me. Are you saying since I think it is weak that he is so touchy about movement, and because I pointed it out, he will be even MORE touchy? Please explain.

Completely agree. He won the premier event in the sport and took home 12 grand. These guys play for the love of the game and I don't begrudge them any opportunity they can find to supplement their income.If someone is willing to pay $500 or $1000 or whatever for a frickin' putter, RW would be foolish NOT to take it.
As others have mentioned you cannot call a foot fault on yourself. "A player shall receive a warning for the first stance violation in the round. Subsequent stance violations in the same round shall incur a one-throw penalty. Stance violations may not be called or seconded by the thrower."
I don't believe you can call a penalty on yourself anymore. It was entirely up to the card.
