So she made an honest mistake.

Who??

 

[ATL96Steeler]

So she made an honest mistake.

3 of them?

I'm a Lexi fan, and I'm not saying she's a cheater intently doing these things. Of course they're mistakes, but she either needs a caddy that knows the rules or keep a rules official on speed dial.

This was a case of a moveable or immoveable sign...she moved an immoveable sign that she would've gotten free relief from.

An honest mistake in my opinion.

With all she has to worry about the sign was the last thing on her mind

Not suggesting otherwise...Just learn the rules.

I've seen other golfers accidentally violate the rules.

I've seen other golfers accidentally violate the rules.

As I've said, I'm a Lexi fan and hope she can figure this out, but we haven't seen many high profile players with multiple (aside from DJ) violations while in contention.

If we draw back and look at the coin issue, that was purely not concentrating on what you're doing. The sign issue...some signs are deemed moveable and others are not...if you're not sure, just ask. Her caddie should have known better on the sign and stepped in...the way it was built, it looks as if it were intended to be there for the duration of the tourney.

Maybe she should find another caddie.

Penalized for moving a sign. Wow.
A sign that would normally be movable.
I hate these dumb rules, but yes she needs to be more careful.

If she moved an immovable sign, she must be really strong...i wouldn't fuck with her.

How many times would any professional golfer have to move a sign in their career?
I have to assume it's a rare event.

So you walk right over to it and pull it up?

You don't ask your Caddy? You don't ask a rules official?
Some of things I agree can get ticky tack ...but moving a sign is not ticky tac

Lexi has some issues for sure. That ball mark incident was so blatant it could not have been an accident.
And there are other videos out there of her doing it.

She had to practically disassemble it to move it...that could've been a signal that maybe we shouldn't be moving this one.

With advertising being a big deal on tour events, I think quite a few tour players would eventually find themselves behind a sign.

I can see it being confusing as to what is moveable and what's not, but this wasn't a small pull up variety...looks like there were multiple parts to this sign...a little common sense would have gone a long way there.

 

[gohusk]

Sounds like another weak call. Reminds me of this BS:

 

[tabascojet]

you aint cheating, you aint trying.....

 

[TheStarOne]

a big nothing .........(Dustin Johnson grounded a club in a sand trap......he didn't know was a sand trap.)
(He grounded his putter and the wind blew his ball.) Nobody accuses Johnson of being a cheater.

With Lexi.....so what........I wouldn't have known the rule either. It's trick or treat rules.
