Poor analogy. This is golf, with it’s own rules. Every player is obliged to know those rules. If he is unsure he can always consult a rules official, which is done quite often. Tiger chose not to, and took the liberty of improving his situation by an incorrect ball drop. He admits all of this in his post round interview.
No, I never make poor analogies. I make a ton of mistakes, but sorry ,anlaogies are just not among them. Mine is totally pure here, and actually, your retort PROVES it - though I doubt you’ll get it.
