Hmmm. Whewn I was still playing, my fellow players would comment that I hit so close tot he middle of fairways that I porobably have to play out of my own divots day after day. But I don't see how someone can drop in their own divot since a golf ball tends to bounce a little when you drop it at arms length from your body and at shoulder height.

Seriesly, Woods would do well to DQ himself and honor the Rule of Golf. Be a leader, Tiger, not an obamaroid (the rules aren't for me but for thee).

I agree but the rule doesn't say "drop" the ball. It says "play" the ball -- "play the ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played."

The nearest spot is not where the ball comes to rest after a drop but where your divot was. The divot marks the nearest spot.
