Default Observation

An old observation was the extra player in a Golf Tournament and Base Ball Game is the Greens Keeper. I think we may have seen some of that in the Ryder Cup? I have been a Marshall at a number of Tournaments including US Opens, etc and I have never seen so many balls go around the cup and not drop in as in the Ryder Cup over the last few days. This does not mean it was intentional but rather may have been a mistake by the person putting in or changing the cups? If you put the cup in and push it down and fail to bring the edges up to meet the surrounding grass level the ball will do exactly as what was happening in the tournament. Did anyone else have a question about the balls not dropping? Since the impact would be on both teams it would not appear to be intentional?
