...because the angle was better looking at it from above is my guess. The camera angle shows nothing either way due to the tuft of taller grass blocking the view. Paint on grass is a really dumb/lazy/whatever way to mark this stuff as well. String is way cheaper, doesn't run off into waterways...

It took Terry Miller (who was at the disc prior to the group even getting there) about 2 seconds to say that there was "no part of the disc touching inbounds". It is roughly 4:05 into the DGN coverage. IMO the camera angle (which would be the same for both Jomez and DGN) was poor.

I have watched plenty of their commentary and know Madison fairly well. IMO the comment in question was a clear statement that the rules often do not get followed and that the group was stepping outside the "usual" in doing so. There are a million different ways to articulate that it was...

Isn't "premium base" a contradiction in terms?

Not the same thing imo. What did the other players in your group have to say?

I agree. Disappointing work on their part imo. Erika and Madison did the same thing on the post production- Erika called it "mean." How is anyone supposed to take this "sport" seriously?

...and painted lines gotta go. String is the thing.

Terry (sideline reporter) walked up, took a look and said it was OB prior to the group even arriving at it. My guess based on that is that it was indeed OB and the call was made correctly. The camera angles sucked for trying to tell. IMO the group should be applauded for actually making the...

I would interpret that vote as 2.5 OB, 1.5 In.

In this case I would say yes and you are correct- in this case the issue is not vagueness but inequity of outcome.

Small rulebook=vague rules. I would prefer more cut and dried rules even if the book has to grow.

How about "if line of play relief is unavailable due to out of bounds, lie may be taken at the nearest inbounds point behind the casual area."

How closely does the "luck" factor align with raw distance and elevation? Hole 4 is the longest Par 4 on the course and has significant elevation gain. Hole 16 is the shortest hole on the course by a fairly wide margin. My guess is the higher rated players generally throw farther than the lower...

You are reading a lot into what is some pretty basic stuff.

If one of my spotters showed up wearing that getup I would send them home. I want them to be as unobtrusive as possible. Of course I also hate stuff like walk up music so take my opinion with a grain of grumpy old salt.
