Somebody recently posted this 19 second video of Michelle Wie’s violation during her 2006 British Open attempt over at YouTube.com. I’m not sure if making it readily available to people is very legal but I thought I would embed it into my website until it gets taken off of YouTube.
If you look at the video it’s tough to blame Michelle for getting a little upset that she received a two stroke penalty for this little moss bump. She let her club touch the sand behind her ball, as most of us do. The only difference was that right behind Michelle’s ball was a piece of moss that was touching her ball. She moved the moss as she took her club back and off of it, which essentially moved her ball?
I can’t really tell if there was ball movement but rules are rules, if you can’t do it, don’t think you can get away with it, especially if you have television cameras and a couple million people watching you.
I had a little trouble embedding the video so here’s a link to the youtube location. Michelle Wie Rules Violation
