Illegal drops? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on those but, claiming his ball just wiggled and didn't move even after they showed it to him,,,,,, BUSTED. Don't blame someone else for calling it what it was. Mark it down though, he's got the horsepower to make the Golf Channel punish Chamblee.

Golf has some rules that are a bit overboard. This moving ball thing is one of them. That being said, it is the rule and you can see that the ball moved. It sure looks like he tried to get away with it. I guess it's possible that from his angle he really though it only oscillated and if that's the case then it's hard to call him a cheater. If he knew it moved though and tried to get away with it, that's cheating.

It's too bad that baseball players aren't held to the same standards. How many times have you seen an outfielder hold up his glove after a short hop trying to say that he caught it in the air? Or close plays at first base. Or a missed tag. These things have a huge bearing on the outcome of a game but a golfball that moves an 1/8th of an inch? Come on.

It is crap like that that makes golf one of the dumbest endeavors in the world.

I had my 20 year class reunion a couple of years ago, and a "pre-function" was meeting up at the golf course for a round on Friday before the festivities really fired up. I don't play golf, but wanted to hang out with the guys. So I said that I would drive the cart.

Some old fogie called the course pro, and said that we had a five-some on the course. He came out, and saw that I was not playing, and had no issue, but said that he "had to come out and approach us, because the guy that called in was probably still watching."

WTF? Get a LIFE.
