Golf demands you get dirty.
so this guy Craig The Walrus Stadler is the professional golfer he hits his ball sort of under this evergreen tree on the 14th hole and the Evergreen foliage is like comes down to the ground so it’s hard for him to like stand up and take his shot right he’s got to get on his knees to do that and he doesn’t want to get his pants dirty so he takes a towel and he rolls it up and he kneels on the towel so his pants don’t get like wet and muddy on his knees and he takes a shot by doing that he violated a very specific rule a player is entitled to place his feet firmly in taking his stance but he must not build a stance building a stance is putting anything down to help you position yourself to make the shot easier for a very long time in golf history you could call in and report a rules violation that you saw on television so someone calls in and says hey Craig Stadler should not have put that towel down because that is him building a stance and they had to be like that’s a penalty we’re going to uh penalize you a stroke

Even more absurd was the time (not sure if it was this one or a similar one) where someone phoned in a penalty for a golfer they saw on TV, but by the time they did it was after the scorecard had been submitted so the golfer was DQ'd for submitting an incorrect scorecard instead of just getting a 1-stroke penalty.
As an avid golfer, the rules were brutal up until recently, still isnt very forgiving
Craig Stadler, from the Sega Saturn game?
What a goddamn tattle tale
The person who called that one in is the definition of a golf nerd.
Snitches get stitches
That's not an evergreen tree
That is some goober narc stuff right there
Dudes a RAT
His name is Craig, nor Cregg
That didn't make his stance easier. It made it convenient, but not easier.
The Walrus, the master of Pebble Beach on the Sega Saturn.
The PGA snitch line was always so weird
But if he had put on his rain pants there would have been no foul
