I guess Phil’s been playing a lot of golf. This seems to be a common problem for men.

That was cool. The guy knew he had to just lay there until Phil put his marker down. Then Phil kindly signed a glove for the good fan.

Great video, thanks for posting it.

He started the day out with two, then he had three, then lost one. Quite a day.

Anyone know what the rule on this is? Is the ball out of bounds? (A one shot penalty and drop from the point nearest to inbounds?) If the spectator had stayed on his feet the ball would have fallen to ground and no one would have noticed.

Could somebody go to http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/i-am-not-a-forger/#comment-6495 and verify that this was posted by now? I was going to take a photo of the post with my cellphone next to it but my camera just died apparently. I need to prove that this post was up before the 4pm time that Wordpress claims it was posted. Thanks!

Nellie

I would think it falls under a temporary hazard (movable object like a stand or sand rake) and you are allowed to either move the object and place or move the ball to an unobstructed lie no closer to the green.

As it turned out, the fan was happy to get the glove, so it's no big deal, but it was a bit presumptuous. It's like giving someone your autograph who really didn't ask for it.

When I saw that guy laying on the ground with everyone gathering around him, I thought he’d had a direct shot.
