Default Golf ....to hell in a handbasket!

Wow, what's the story??? Lexi T gets the boot due to a viewer...4 stroke penalty! Where did they come up with that??? "4 strokes"
Today in the Village Daily Sun, sports, a picture, rather large, may I add, shows a gentleman with his long putter, getting ready for the Putting Challenge....I thought that this long style putter was declared illegal???
WHAT'S NEXT?

Long putter still legal providing it is not anchored to the body. Bernhard Langer still uses it on the Champions Tour. As for the Lexi thing, pure garbage. What other sport can a viewer call in to enforce a rule?

Understanding Rule 14-1b-2

The Lexi Thompson incident is quite complex and an interesting discussion of what happened can be found here.
