Officials are not so close that they can see an infraction of the rules of golf such as occurred in this case. Apparently, the player didn't even notice she had brushed the sand with her club. It was a zoom lens on the TV camera that caught the infraction. However, both players should be informed at the same time but there is nothing in the "rules of golf" that says they should and this can be changed by the USGA.
