Did you see it? This was more than hitting a ball behind some
bleachers. This thing was gone. How it couldn't have been OB is
beyond me.

From MSNBC report on Bridgestone:
"Rules official Slugger White said the clubhouse has never been deemed
to be out-of-bounds. In fact, he said Woods’ ball could have bounced
across Warner Road and onto the North Course and still would have been
in play.
Adding to Woods luck was that rules official Mike Shea said the ball
was located — or enough evidence to figure out what happened — seconds
before the five minutes allowed to search for a lost ball."
The USGA suggests that there be no interior OBs on a course, and I
guess they never marked it such there.

3 Secrets the pros know that you don't
All very good players do three things well...and now you can too
By T.J. Tomasi
GOLF MAGAZINE Top 100 Teacher
Secret Move #1:
Maintain wrist hinge until release
WHAT IT IS
Leonard Kamsler
If you're a highhandicapper, you probably hinge your right wrist
backward at the top of your swing-and that's a good thing. But unlike
players on Tour, you don't keep that angle through impact-you lose it
way too early. Maintaining that angle will help you maintain the
correct loft on the club, so you'll get the proper distance.
DRILL TO GET IT
Use your left thumb to lock your right wrist in plaveLeonard Kamsler
Take your normal grip on the club, then move your left thumb off the
shaft of the club and over and on top of your right wrist. Take a few
half-swings with an iron from this position and notice how your thumb
helps keep the right-wrist angle intact and the clubhead behind your
hands at impact. This combination allows you to maximize your power and
distance.
Secret Move #2:
Rotate your head Leonard Kamsler
WHAT IT IS:
By trying to keep your eye on the ball, you can develop "turkey peeking
over a log" syndrome, in which your shoulders turn all the way to the
right but you're still looking over your left shoulder to see the ball.
Your head should rotate to the right along with your shoulders in the
backswing, then back to the left during the downswing.
2 DRILLS TO GET IT:
Keep your eye on the straw for proper head rotationLeonard Kamsler
First, imagine that you're gently shaking your head "no"-right and then
left-as you swing. Or try a second drill: Take practice swings with a
straw in your mouth. Concentrate on keeping the straw in the center of
your vision as you swing back and then through. This will automatically
give you the head rotation you need.
Secret Move #3
Keep your trailing knee flexed
Leonard Kamsler
WHAT IT IS:
All golfers, even Tour pros, have to watch the tendency to straighten
the right knee in the downswing. It's an easy mistake to make, and the
results are disastrous. The move forces you to stand up and throws the
entire hitting mechanism out of whack. Expect poor contact every time.
Contact with the chair will keep your right knee flexedLeonard Kamsler
DRILL TO GET IT:
Prop the back of a chair under your backside and swing without losing
contact with the chair. If you can do this, your right knee will stay
flexed and you'll deliver full power to the ball.

## Here Tex .. this is for you ...study hard we ask questions

Monkey Brains
Most people probably have heard the tale of the barbaric foreigners who
strap a live monkey down and eat its brains while it screams. It has
even made it into the Hollywood mainstream in movies like "Indiana
Jones and the Temple of Doom." The common aspects of this story, as it
is almost always told, make it an excellent illustration of a classic
urban legend.
Recipe
Legends have traditionally been passed down orally and it is no
different with the Live Monkey Brain legend. The following is the
universal recipe for this legend:
* Take one (1) living monkey. The story does not work without the
kicking and the screaming and the biting. Just eating monkey brain stew
is not particularly interesting or shocking.
* Strap beneath special table with hole in center. The monkey must
be strapped beneath a table with its head poking up through a hole.
* Bop monkey on the head, scoop and serve. The diners usually
deliver the fatal blow themselves with hammers, the skull is sawed off
and the brains are scooped out with spoons.
That's about as complex as the legend gets, but I'd like to add two
special ingredients that you may not have noticed in your culinary
excursions:
* Others do it in other places. This is universal in every version
I have ever heard or seen. Americans say the Taiwanese do it.
Indonesians say the Taiwanese do it. Taiwanese say that Hong Kongers do
it. Hong Kongers say it is rural Chinese on the border with Vietnam.
Historical versions by officials from Beijing (in the North) report
that it is Southerners who do it. Variations might get as close as
another ethnic group in the same area or even that Grandfather did it
once in the old days, but you rarely hear a reliable first hand
account, which brings us to...
* A friend of a friend told me. The story is often claimed true
because a friend had a friend who was in Asia during the Vietnam war
who ate monkey brains or saw tables with holes while traveling.
Occasionally, someone does tell this as a first hand story, but (with
two anecdotal exceptions) everyone I have ever challenged has backed
down or has been unable to provide convincing details. Extraordinary
claims require extraordinary proof.
Note: Two normal people have contacted me by e-mail with
first-hand accounts. One account happened when the person was a child
and the other stated that each dinner had their own monkey and that its
head was "the size of a human infant." I remain skeptical, but these
two anecdotes are important.
Variations
There are a few variation, but what makes this such a classic legend is
that it is so consistent in its many tellings. For example, the
location can be Asia or some Middle Eastern country, but it is always
foreigners. Some locations I have heard or seen associated with this
story are: Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia,
Japan, Thailand, India, Africa and the Middle East.
The most common variation, by far, involves the Chinese. And the most
common report is from Indonesians (or Western reporters in Indonesia)
about ethnic Chinese Indonesians. If you ask someone from China about
the legend, they will almost certainly have heard of it. If you ask
them if it is true, as with all of the best legends, most people will
say that it is indeed true and may even offer the "we Chinese eat
anything with four legs that isn't a table" explanation. But if pressed
for details, it will inevitably involve people from some other region,
ethnic group or time.
I have collected a large number of references which I have critically
annotated. It's not just a boring list, so you should definitely hop
over and check out the movies and plays that feature monkey brain
eating (including Italian porn from the 70s), lots of newspaper
articles and even pictures of a woman eating monkey brains.
Historical References
One of the best early references I have found is from a reporter in
Japan who heard that the legend was started by a colorful columnist in
1948, but the story is much older and has Chinese origins. There are
two important Chinese historical references. One is a legendary menu,
called the "Man Han Quan Xi" ("The Manchu-Han Complete Banquet" - see
title in Chinese at the end of the article), that is said to be from
the ultimate Chinese feast and is supposed to contain the most exotic
and wonderful foods from all over the empire. The menu (which no longer
exists, but is referenced by other sources) is from the Qing Dynasty
period, which peaked in the 18th century.
The other reference is from a book titled "ManTuoLuo Xuan XianHua"
("Casual Chat on Mantuolou's Veranda"), written by Zhang HaiOu in the
mid-19th century. This text collects traditional Chinese medicine and
food knowledge from various locales around China and in turn refers to
an account by a general who traveled around China, possibly as early as
the 16th century. He recounts a feast that he attended that included
live monkey brain, which he described as being quite tasty. The
previously mentioned Qing Dynasty menu and this 16th century report may
or may not be distinct references, however, and both may come from the
same source (e.g. the general traveled about and collected the dishes
that ended up on the now-lost menu). Unfortunately, this is a
literary-historical friend-of-a-friend tale, as I do not have access to
this 19th century Chinese book and have not read the actual account,
which of course refers to the other older source, of which I know
basically nothing (not even the title). While this is all very
interesting, hunting down primary source documents in classical Chinese
far exceeds my abilities and the patience of my Chinese friends (who
are far less obsessed with monkey brains than I am).
In any case, there is little doubt that this classic legend is probably
as old as time itself, first told by Java Man to Lucy about the exotic
eating habits of barbaric Peking Man.
Is It True?
The main purpose of this article is to discuss the canonical Live
Monkey Brain feast. As a legend, it is a classic in every way and is
particularly interesting because of its age and the extent of the
documentation surrounding it, whether it is true or false.
* Eating live monkey brains as a delicacy is highly unlikely and
the canonical tale is almost certainly not true. Key elements are
unbelievable and undocumented. This includes that the monkey is live
(and conscious), strapped below the table and that the diners excitedly
bop the screaming, kicking monkey on the head, while blood squirts all
around. Then they presumably wipe off the blood, have a good laugh and
enjoy the delicious brains. Yum!
* Eating live monkey brains as medicine is much more believable,
but I'd only put even money on it. This is not the standard version of
the tale, but it is a horrific and commonly reported variation. Paying
money to have the chef prepare fresh monkey brain sushi is only one
step removed from selecting a lobster from a tank and boiling it alive.
* Eating fresh (but not live) monkey brains as medicine is more
likely still , given the large number of reports. Powdered monkey brain
in a medicine shop seems quite plausible. Still, there is always room
of skepticism.
* Eating cooked monkey brains is also believable. Monkey brain stew
might even taste good.

If you haven't seen it yet, Tiger air mailed the 9th green by 100
yards, onto the roof of the clubhouse.
Long story short, he gets a FREE DROP no closer to the hole. Ends up
making bogey.
Here's why this decision was BS
1) No OB line. So what? So if nobody ever painted an OB line, there's
no OB on the course?
2) Tiger never identified his ball
3) They claim an outside agent picked up his ball. Nobody ESPN
interviewed or even the rules official knew this for a fact
4) They don't know exactly where his ball ended up, so to declare the
grand stands Temp Immovable Obstructions when you don't even know if
they were in the way is BS
Only Tiger would have gotten this ruling.

I tend to agree, but think the ruling could have been valid except:
First of all, there was no OB so if Tiger's ball was found (and it was), he
should first of all have gone to where the ball was and determined if he
could play it from where it was. But he didn't do this. The ball was found
by a cook (who picked it up) in a courtyard on the far side of the clubhouse
and the blimp camera even picked this up. Tiger himself never even started
to look for the ball, so presumably he assumed ball was lost.
Given that ball was found, if they knew this, they should have had the cook
re-place the ball and then give Tiger the opportunity of hitting from there.
Then, if the grandstand was in the way, he would get his drop. But if the
clubhouse was in the way, he should NOT (It is not temporary) and he would
likely have to go back and rehit.
Seems like they made their decision before confirming that the ball had been
found and based their decision on the ball having been lost somewhere on the
roof and assumed that wherever it was, the grandstand would have been in the
way. He did not even complete hole with same ball. Apparently it is OK to
lose a ball in a clubhouse, but not in an open area?
To give Tiger his due, he also could not believe that he was not OB.
This type of thing makes a nonsense of the rules - Tiger hit a very poor
shot and received no penalty.

Other players, in other tournaments, have hit the ball behind
bleachers, tents, etc., and been given very generous drops.

IMO they need to change the rule on drops. I've seen pros clank one
into deep rough, and get two or three drops to end up on the fringe.
They should have a provision that if you land in the rough, you drop
in the rough.

Hmmm... not sure. The other articles I have read indicate they made
the
decision that his ball had been moved by an outside agency based only
on the word of a security guard who heard this guy ask who was throwing
balls at him and pick up A ball. I don't think that is sufficient
evidence.
This article does not really say if they actually did find the ball
before the
ruling was made. I haven't heard of them bringing this guy back to
indicate exactly where he picked it up from.

But they never found the ball! And no convincing evidence that an
outside angency moved it... just some kid picked up some ball...
ThereforeI think it is very questionable.... no, I just think it was
wrong.

But even if there had been no evidence of an outside agency moving the ball,
there still was ample evidence to think that the ball was lost in an
immovable obstruction, which does not involve a lost ball penalty, no? And
in that case the Temporary Immovable Obstruction rule that applies in PGA
events would control and the relief granted.
It seems to me that the whole issue of whether the ball was moved by an
outside agency or it was lost in an immovable obstruction is academic,
because in either case the relief was going to be from the Temporary
Immovable Obstruction. Or am I missing something?

I just read the transcript of the new conference and apparently the fact
that the ball was found was significant in that it changed the place of the
drop. Since the ball was found the drop was made at a distance that was the
same as the distance where the ball was deemed to have been before it was
moved by the outside agency, around 90 yards.
If the ball had not been found then the drop would have been closer to the
green, according to the rules officials. So the finding of the ball was
actually a disadvantage.
http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/news/story/r476/9620232
Excerpts:
MIKE SHEA: If we hadn't found a ball, then we would have operated under a
rule that deals with a ball lost in an obstruction, the obstruction being
the clubhouse, and there's another rule procedure, and Tiger would have
dropped the ball somewhere between the grandstand and the clubhouse where
the ball would have entered on top of the clubhouse, the nearest point of
relief from that. Once he dropped that ball, then he would have taken relief
from the grandstand behind the 9 green. So he probably would have ended up
playing his shot closer to the green than what he did, but it would have
been towards the same on the same angle, but it would have been 30, 40, 50
yards closer to the flag stick probably.
. . .
MIKE SHEA: When we arrived there, I started a stopwatch running, just a
little five minutes and two seconds, I think I clicked the watch, and I
called to Dillard and Steve Carman and said we can operate under a lost ball
rule, and Dillard said, no, we've already spotted where the ball is. He was
within five minutes of knowing where the ball was picked up by this person
originally, so they had a spot and reasonable evidence that the ball was
taken by someone, and that's why the ball was never lost in the clubhouse.
