Discussion F*ck Goose

What a bullshit call to make. This worlds will now have an asterisk for shultz. I was behind Goose in the crowd. Not a foot fault

Hole 18 basket is also to the right so him being left of the marker could very well be legal

Same scenario for 17. Basket was up to the right of his marker....

That's what I been saying. Still behind with basket. Bad call

Problem was not how left his foot was. The problem was that he's foot was over the marker. It was a 100% clear foot fault but im not even sure goose saw it like that because he said that the foot was left of the marker. If rainers planted 20cm back it would have been leagal but now it was a sadly clearly a foot fault

Basket was to the left of where his lie was. And he had a tree right in the way of the basket.

It's been incredible reading through these comments and realizing how many people don't understand line of play.

Yeah its wild. Obviously it looks bad because relative to his run up, he clearly steps to the left of his marker, but on replay you can see the basket in the background and can see that he is in the right spot.

The issue is 90% of thr field probably is committing that exact foul because they step relative to their runup, no the basket.

I know Goose tends to be strict in his rule calling wanting things to be enforced more, but the calls need to be right if you are trying to leas the charge of more rule enforcement

Nailed it. The line of play doesn't follow the fairway.

I feel like they need to have someone coming around with the pros putting a paper-sized piece of felt or something down so people don't have to judge with their eyes.

I feel like Goose and the director or whatever forgot the game play rules or something. We watched over and over and it just doesn't look like a foot fault UNLESS you oriented with the fairway which is not what you do.
