So, that ball didn't move?

[bladehunter]

I am just so impressed with how the Masters is run.

 

Had this been any other major at least one of the reporters would have likely asked Sergio whether he felt the ball moved.

 

I watched Sergio's post tournament conference and not one single question about it.

 

I wonder if the powers at Augusta gave a heads up to the reporters that such a question would result in said reporter begin banned from future Masters.

 

They can and have banned reporters in the past ........ ask Gary McCord (greens smoothed with bikini wax) or Jack Whitaker (referring to the Masters galleries as a "mob scene").

 

You just have to admire that way the Masters is run.

 

You are impressed/admire how a tournament is run because reporters may be banned for asking about the application of the Rules of Golf!?!

 

YES !!!!!!

 

Is it not refreshing that once the decision was made no more discussion was needed. The entire post tournament news conference was about the Sergio, the win and what a fantastic ending to the tournament it was.

 

My opinion is that had this not been the Masters and their ability to strictly control the press, the post tournament news conference would have dissolved into a massive discussion about whether or not the right decision was made.

 

Only on here are we discussing this non issue.

 

 

 

very nice to hear an interview where the subject is the actual news..Segio winning his 1st major.. Not the all too common Fakenews we have to endure where the media focuses on the sensational and not the substance of whats going on with a certain subject.... Thank you augusta national for not allowing the Fakenews of the flutter of a single piece of pine straw to dominate that interview... would have been a shame and disgrace to ruin his moment with crap...

There are rules in all countries in all walks of life, many will be very different from country to country, and some are polar opposites from one culture to another. My point is that not all Rules are right, it's the application of life that is on a higher plane. So whether the ball moved or not to some people is of lesser relevance to the application and how that would effect the result. The Masters committees got it 100% right, particularly if one person is saying it moved and another is saying it didn't, the benefit of that doubt has to go to the player, particularly in the light of the aformentioned application effect.

 

Now, can we please get over this debacle, man up and stop whining like school girls in a play ground, it's not becoming of grown men! :stop:

Truth is the truth whether you enjoy it or not

 

Would your ears prefer a politically correct term ? Maybe anti-sensationalism ?

We'll just nip this thread in the bud before it gets too far off the rails.
