Re: Whistling Straights and Dustin Johnson. I know the PGA is going to stage another major there. And I know all players are made aware of the course rules. I just remember watching that happen and thinking... seriously, they call all these thousands of little pieces of sand a hazard? And they allowed the galleries to stomp all over them throughout the week. And this is a major ? I am for sure in the minority but I think WS is an unacceptable venue for a PGA event, yet alone a major.
As for our ambassadors, some may have certain things they focus on. Some pay attention to cart path rules, some divots, some hazard areas, etc. Maybe this ambassador has a thing for rakes and traps. He could have been less than cordial and even jumped the gun a bit. I just think it's best to not take it personal.
