read on the first page that Scott wasnt a chance to win at the time, that is BS, he was only a few strokes back with a further 9 to play. Kennys eagle didnt help his cause, but he wasnt that far off at all.

First one is VERY blatant. Not even close to the mini. Second is iffy but still not close. Two feet? Nah but he isn't within 30 cm either.
You notice where the spotter is standing in the background? It kind of gives you a feel for the line of play(I didn't notice it at first). After rewatching and keeping that in mind, I'd have called him for a third foot fault. He keeps planting to the left of his mini.
Don't quote me on this but you can be a little left/right of your mini. You get the width of a golf disc to throw from, not a mini's width.
yeah, they were pretty clearly ****ty calls. completely bogus. two feet? please. the first one it seemed he could be off the line of play but we don't know where that is. he may have been in the second one too but that's not what was called in the video - they said he was way behind his marker. wrong. it was funny watching that guy brian defend himself on FB. he can say he called it as he saw it, but then that just means he really needs glasses.

I suspect had he been on the other end of the rope, towards the bottom of the pack no foot faults would have been called period.
Man, what a bunch of $@#*!!. I sure wouldn't have called it. A warning first anyhow.
Scott is a big dude, a little clumsy, and has a huge hoof. I think that could be a little deceiving in the first place.
He made a good effort to stay behind his lie. And that should be good enough in terms of having adequate sportsmanship for competition.
That's a little shifty. Whether it's a mini or a driver, the lie is still the same. It's a line, and a line (as we all remember from 9th grade geometry) has no width. Using a larger disc because it creates an "optical illusion" is trying to fool your cardmates into letting you circumvent the rules.I was coached to leave the disc (if you're not throwing the disc in the lie) on the ground instead of putting a mini because it gives you a lot more leeway (almost double the size because of the optical illusion of a regular disc being so much larger than a mini) with potential footfaults. Especially in longer open field shots where the advantage of a disc length is small.
