While I completely agree that the oscillating ball rule should just be done away with I'm left wondering what people's real feelings are about the timing of the situation. The drop that Tiger Woods made on the 15th at The Masters a few years ago was by most accounts an illegal drop and should have been a penalty stroke. It wasn't until someone called in after the round was it was looked at and the penalty stroke applied. Not only did most people think he should have received the penalty stroke but also DQ'ed for signing a wrong scorecard. If Tiger should have got the penalty stroke, much less have been DQ'ed, then the penalty against DJ should have been applied if the rules officials really thought the rule was broken. Other then how blatant the violation was, what is the difference? If Tiger said his drop was legal and no official called him on it than should he have been assessed the penalty stroke? If you say Tiger shouldn't have than I buy that you think Dustin shouldn't have but if not then Dustin should have received the penalty. I would even say more so since his was noticed by the rules committee and not some idiot on his couch calling in violations.
