The Golf Thread

Sure seems like he was relaying an on air TV conversation about the shot. To me, that seemed rather obvious.

I read it differently. Either way, he should have brought it to the attention of rules officials.

Still disagree. Not his job. Not the guy watching on TV either.

He’s a golf professional and teaches several tour players. It’s his duty to honor the integrity of the game.

So, he's not a rules official?

 

[peaygolf]

No, he’s not. And not once did I say he should have called him out mid round. I said after the round to Slugger White.

I got the impression it didn't go out on the air , also.

What difference does that make?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

All he needed to do was speak to Slugger White in private and say to keep an eye on him. Very simple and would not have been made public.

Do you really think White wasn’t already aware of Reed’s propensity to fudge the rules? They should’ve been watching him from the start.

Yep. You’re right. PGA Professional, private instructor to other tour players, and an ambassador to the game should have kept his mouth shut and played stupid. Seriously?

 

[peaygolf]

You asked if he was a rules official. I answered your question. And he shouldn’t have acted as an official. That is why he should have brought it to an officials attention.

well, you got that one part right at least.

 

[peaygolf]

Never said he should have. So, you think he just should have kept his mouth shut?

 

[peaygolf]

Kostis did say it on air. Wow. I stand corrected on that.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I mean he implied he was cheating during a broadcast. He also addressed that the broadcaster is not supposed to be part of the story. One set of ethics, his own, over another, Reed’s.

Kostis, who spoke on the "No Laying Up" podcast, said it was part of an unwritten rule to not call a penalty on a player.
"But we could comment if a penalty was called," he said. "That's the difference between reporting on a story and being a part of a story, right? I've seen Patrick Reed improve his lie up close and personal four times now. ... You can go on YouTube. It's the only time I've ever shut [commentator Gary] McCord up, he didn't know what to say when I said, 'The lie that I saw originally wouldn't have allowed for this shot.'

I just posted above that he said he questioned it on air. I didn’t remember him doing that. He still should have gone to an official after the round.

 

[GAVol]

Kostis just trying to stay relevant and get another job somewhere.

Hes 73. I think he just doesn’t care.

It needs to be public. Let’s just say, I know some folks at UGA and at Augusta State.

 

[1972 Grad]

There is some validity to that statement. I am 70, and when you reach a certain age, you have a tendency to say what's on your mind. Probably the reason that I am always on the leaderboard of most posts removed.

Lol... I have on occasion assumed that was the case.

Ya I saw them. Just concerned about the quality of the print if I submit a picture of a Power T. I can't believe no one out there is making scorecard holders for P5 schools.
