Re: Kenny Perry Cheating in the FBR Open Playoff

Rule 13.2 in the Rules of Golf: "A player must not improve or allow to be improved the position or lie of his ball ... by any of the following actions - pressing a club on the ground, moving, bending or breaking anything growing or fixed."


You failed to mention that later on in that rule it states. However the player incurs no penalty if the action occurs:
in FAIRLY TAKING HIS STANCE
But it also says : the club may be grounded only lightly and must not be pressed on the ground.
The video shows Kenny grounding the club behind the ball with ONE hand on the club, lightly or pressing down you can't tell. But it is not taking a stance. This video can be interpeted either way, depends on what you want to believe.
