In the comments of this Lexi article someone has a pic of her doing the same thing at the Honda. You didn't hear this from me if anybody asks. www.lpga.com/news/2017-lexi-thompson-addresses-ruling-at-ana-inspirationIMO it's probably just more evidence that she's a habitual reckless ball marker than a habitual cheater. Who knows. I had to think a little about why I care about this at all. I'm not upset she used to mark her ball this way. She is good for women's golf in the states and I want to her have a fun career. It really was the fire the LPGA and rules officials came under for calling this penalty. If we're not going to call this then why even have rules at all? It just seems like such a no-brainer. 2 strokes for marking your ball "like" a cheater. And 2 more because you have to know you're doing it when you signed the card. You HAVE to know that. Thanks for pointing out that comment...here's the pic: What are the odds that the LPGA will delete the post and/or pic? Brandel C. had a good comment on ball marking. He played with a guy who was "bad" at doing it, so he started standing two feet away when this player was marking his ball. The USGA says the players are supposed to police each other, and that's what every LPGA player should be doing. It looks like the two white dots in the two left circles changes position slightly. So the camera might have moved. The question is whether the movement is big enough to account for the change in the ball position.

I just watched her mark her ball a little off to the side 1 minute ago on live TV. It's just what she does. It was almost like she didn't even look where the hole was. Who knows where it got replaced. Probably in the hole. It's truly possible that she marks it carelessly, deliberately, AND without intent to break a rule.

They got the you tube video from the Honda posted on that article now too. What a world we live in.

Whoa, that video is a flat-out VIOLATION! She needs to stop conning the public and start marking her ball like a professional. Anyone who marks the ball from the side needs to be scrutinized.
Jane Blalock did it a different way. From the 6/19/1972 S.I. article:
The executive board claims that Miss Blalock has been under suspicion for over a year, that there have been repeated violations, that witnesses in the gallery at Louisville had observed her replacing the ball to the side of her marker on the green and that Janie tearfully admitted to her guilt. Miss Blalock was denying everything.

I think it's possible she just doesn't know what she's doing now. Goofy but possible.

I can guarantee everyone...that Bobby K has stormed into the GC production truck with Scott Thompson standing behind Bobby K with his arms crossed ...as Bobby K tells them all to F*** O** and stop ZOOMING IN whenever Lexi is marking her ball.
I'm sure he's also been on the phone BLASTING Whan and giving him an EARFUL.
But Bobby K is no Mark Steinberg......all his requests will be ignored....maybe Bobby K can ask Tina for some help...Tina scares me.

I can't believe you described someone as an "ugly old white woman". I don't agree with her, but pretty low of you to describe someone that way.
