Non-sanctioned events -- of course the TD can do what they want; I'd recommend they publish in advance if using something other than SD starting on hole 1; On Chuck's suggestion, I don't like it for the exact same reason that I don't like the college football playoff, international tiebreaker...

I probably did some of that damage. It goes back a few years. PM me if you want the *whole* story. TL; dR for a post...

FYI, s-bizz, Trophy Club DGC is also in a P2P park. I am a HUGE fan of Crossroads Church in Duncanville. I ran minis when I lived out there. A course that requires all the skills.

NO recent activity. What's up? My excuse is I've been down with surgery...

But again, Ams can "circumvent the rule" of getting cash by playing in Am1 (or any other Am division), taking the merch and selling it. It's not circumventing them from getting cash while maintaining Am status. We ALL sell our merch from time to time. Plus, see the response below. While I...

Nothing prevents an Am player from doing that NOW in Am divisions, so what's the difference?

Ad Krupicka already answered that there is no appeal to PDGA in this case, only the TD. However, your premise herein is also incorrect. 801.03 B (appeals) and C allow a player to throw provisional(s) in order to appeal a GROUP decision -- not "any" decision. GROUP decisions typically refer...

USDGC is an X-tier, and hole #17 is one of the reasons why. X-tier meaning ratings won’t apply as they normally would.

Exactly. That last sentence exactly.

Good. That was our discussion on the course. I told the thrower that the TD never said “treat it like OB”, so while yes there is relief, it is only ON THE LINE OF PLAY and AWAY from the basket. I got called rules Nazi, but he ultimately decided not to use the relief and play from there.

Fortunately, or unfortunately (depending on how you look at it), that final round's rating is coming in at 892, and it is likely so low that it won't count on her average. Therefore not hurting the "hunt for 1000" at all.

Yes. Correct. I agree with you both. But then the question becomes, if you agree relief is warranted here, in what directions or directions is it allowed?

If AB had to throw until he made the island, he is still the away player. Some events have a rule that the order remains and the same player continues to throw.

But that isn't the question. It is implied that the additional meter (up to 2 meters of relief) is from an OB line when the lie is OB or near OB. This wasn't the case. Just a barbed wire remnant in the smack middle of inbounds. What say you?

But this wasn't "forced" relief, it was stated in the player meeting as if the "up to two meters relief for barned wire" was "optional" such as for an OB or near OB throw. Unfortunately. this throw was neither one.
