Did you see Dustin Johnson get the hose job yesterday at the PGA championship? He was penalized 2 strokes for grounding his club in a bunker. The bunker had been trampled to the point where is was no longer a bunker, but what the heck. There was NO advantage to what Dustin did, none. The PGA has just one championship a year and they blew it. First of all, they pick a course with over 1000 "bunkers" which in a Pete Dye couse could be where the cat scratched the ground. They had terrible crowd control and the "bunker" had been flattened by thousands of specatators. Then when he was hitting, they couldn't keep the crowd from getting right in his face. The lane he had to hit throught was lined with idiots gamming for the camera and was, at most, 4 feet wide. He flipped the shot wide of the green and then took a 5 which was later changed to a 7.
All of this could have been managed by the organization who runs the championship, but the stuffed jackets of the PGA did nothing. They are so worried about Tiger this and Tiger that. They forgot that this young man could be the next great golfer who doesn't live on the 19th hole. I will not watch a PGA event on TV again. Phil's hurting, Tiger isn't getting layed regularly and you screwed over a guy just trying to compete.
