this only prepares you for future tournaments! pressure and the mental aspects of the game are always going to be there and as you build on them I am sure the outcomes will be different. This is in any sport or just life in general.. BUT as for the rules official. ??? the standing water will rule is a catch 22. I believe it has something to do with how much pressure your putting in your stance ?? I'm no rules official but I believe you can't press down with one foot it should be in your stance to make a ruling ??? not 100% but I think so. But, if you don't agree ask for another official to help its your right...

My understanding is that if you take your stance and there is water visible around your shoes then you get relief from casual water (we have a lot of this in the Uk😂), sounds like the official gave you an unfair ruling, but still, three solid rounds of golf and a third place finish is excellent, well done and thanks for sharing your journey with us Gabby

Not after you take a stance. The water has to be visible at the surface without any pressing of any king on the ground with the feet, hands, club head, or otherwise.

@Brainlesscheesy 8 ай бұрын

@@erichansen3641 No that's not right. Temporary Water is defined as water that is not in a penalty area, and "can be seen before OR after the player takes a stance (without pressing down excessively with their feet)". Under Rule 16.1, free drop within 1 club length of the nearest point of relief, not nearer the hole. But it's NOT TW if it's just wet or muddy but the water cannot be seen.

Hey Gabby, it is your Las Vegas golf pro and big fan Tommy Sunshine. I played in many PGA Tour qualifiers, US Open qualifiers, and many USGA tournaments. There was always one specific thing about the Casual water rule. The rule was that if you stepped in and placed your weight normally to take your stance and water was seen up from the ground around your shoes you we're in casual water. Here is the part of the rule that got abused and they are careful not to allow it. You are not allowed to go into your stance and then place all your weight on one foot or push down into the ground by moving your body weight up and down trying to get water to come up. You literally have to take your stance and just stand there normally. If water was visible after you did that then you got relief from the casual water. I am sure, unfortunately, that the official you dealt with was not able to field questions about his ruling without taking it personally as an attack. I would at your next tournament ask if it's possible to get another official to be called to the scene if you disagree with a rules judgment. But here's the caveat to that action. If you are the only one involved in the ruling, unlike today, it means literally that you're going to stall your group for a long period of time while you and they wait for Another rules official to get there. You have to be mentally tough enough that you can't let that bother you! If you know you're right or have a good suspicion you are right, Don't cave in to pressure or talk from them and stand your ground. You're not out there at the tournament to make BFFs! You're there to play your best golf and show that you are a quality player and person. Every experience you encounter will help shape you as a person. Embrace hard moments... Luv your content always. When you have time,(U have no time,I get it) please look up a 16 year old like you named Lexi Booras. You liked my evaluation of your swing when you asked to be critiqued last time. I think you just looking at her action will help you down the road. Please check her out. You keep doing what you're doing, Gabby Girl.Your takent is truly abundant! Also, a big shout-out to your Mom and Dad for recognizing your passion, providing for your talent, sacrificing to see you glow, and knowing that they raised such a quality, beautiful person that you would make intelligent choices about how you proceed! I'm sure they are enormously proud as you should be also. Aloha

What is the definition of casual water in USGA? By definition, “casual water” is any temporary accumulation of water on the course that is not in a water hazard and is visible before or after the player takes his stance. You may play your ball as it lies or take free relief.

@JustSleepin61 8 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure that you are allowed to call for an alternate referee if you disagree with the decision. If that isn't possible, you can play two balls, one following the rules officials guidance and the the using your own interpretation. When you get back to the clubhouse, get the tournament director / senior rules official to decide on the offical final ruling before you sign your card.

There are a few issues going on. A ball is only in temporary water if water is visible before or after the stance is taken. “It is not enough for the ground to be merely wet, muddy or soft or for the water to be MOMENTARILY VISIBLE as the player steps on the ground.” The other issue would be, if you were not CERTAIN it was in the penalty area or in the temporary water, you have to treat it as a lost ball.

Hey Gabby, it's the stance, not the dance. So take your stance and without shifting your weight side to side, if you see water around the soles of your shoes it's temporary water. If you have to press down by shifting your weight, or doing the "dance" to see water, no relief, play hard. You can always ask for a second opinion, referees make mistakes. On a subjective judgment call, I always go with the player. Rules 1, play by the rules in the spirit of the game.

Is there time outs? Seems like it would be awkward with everyone waiting on you. That would suck with no close bathrooms. Doing the "potty dance" the whole way, one could definitely tinkle on themselves.

Greetings Gabby. Nice work. Just wanted to say that when I was your age, I read a description of a personality type which stuck with me That would be: petty tyrant. These are the kind of people your rules official sounds like. A smidgen of power and all reason is abandoned, and they take advantage of their position in a entirely hostile manner. You'll find them fairly often as you get older, and all you can do is try to get away from them is quickly as possible. Don't let them tarnish an otherwise great experience. You're a good person so keep doing what you're doing, and ignore the nasty ones, if possible.

Hi Gabby. It's my understanding that if there is a disagreement on something like this, you can play a second ball taking relief and then have the rules committee determine the correct interpretation. Sounds like this official was not following proper protocol. While he is a rules official, even they get things wrong and they should always be conservative and allow a second opinion. You showed real maturity in just moving on and addressing it after the round. Great tournament! Keep it up!

@wesleyhodge9457 8 ай бұрын

Very solid rounds Gabby, but I’ve come to expect nothing less from you now!! The ruling definitely seemed harsh to me, but I guess the lesson learned here is to ask for another rules official to determine\confirm if indeed it’s the correct one. I’m curious about your putting grip change, was that merely something you tried out in order to try and see if your putting got better or was there more too it? I’ve always putted right hand low and never been consistent so was going to adopt the cross putt grip going forward; I figured it couldn’t hurt 🤣🤣

Gabby love your true grit. Unfortunately in all sports, there are some officials involved for all the wrong reasons. They become an official solely for the moment they can access power. Of course, many times they also volunteer their time I suggest you know the rules better than the official. You play golf for your passion for the sport. Perhaps this official did you a favor, by highlighting what bad behavior looks like. In the future know what your rights are and get a 2nd opinion. Golf is a game based upon self-enforcement of the rules. You have every right to question a rules interpretation error. The game is played for the players, not the officials. Following the correct rules protects you and the rest of the field. I am proud of the way you handled it.

Sorry about the length of my comments below. One more thing you have a huge advantage that I didn't have when playing in tour qualifiers... Anytime there is a rules dispute take out your phone and videotape exactly what you do and exactly what I outlined about the Casual water rule! Or any ruling whether it's a boundary dispute etcetera. Get every good angle and they or you may be able to send that to a rules official and he can make a ruling without even coming out. On the PGA tour it is done all the time where they look at coverage from the broadcast truck to see where a ball cross the water hazard or where it may be lost in a hazard or where it may just be lost in rough Etc.

From your description, it sounds like the official was correct. If there was no water on the surface before you took your stance, but the water came up as you took your stance and then went away and did not remain above the surface as you stood there, then that would not meet the definition of temporary water. The water has to be present before or must remain above the surface after you take your stance. With that said, as a rules official, there was absolutely no reason for him to act like a jerk. One can rule against the player and still be very nice about it. It's also quite possible I'm misunderstanding your description of the situation.

@Huntgolfride 8 ай бұрын

I believe that you could have used rule 3-3 (may have the number wrong) and announce during play that you dispute the on course ruling or playing competitors ruling and want to finish the hole with 2 balls, using each rule and then seek a final decision at the end of the round to determine who was right and which score to use for that hole. My son encountered a rules official in a college competition in Canada and used this rule to end the on course dispute. At the end of the round the playing competitors and rules officials got together to go over the circumstances and a ruling was made as to which ball would be scored. That ruling number was what everyone was calling it that day. I believe they even had that on the rules sheet so players knew this was an option during play for disputes.

Gabby, I understand that you are worried about going back to right hand high and left hand low (or vice versa) putter grip and that you are concerned about one hand taking over because your stroke is handsy using small muscles of the hand instead of larger muscles of the shoulders. Have you tried an Arm Lock putter? or a regular putter with an extension and an Arm Lock grip installed? The only difference really is the addition of loft to the putter face. I stroke my longer putts right handed using a cross-hand grip like you have used in the recent past, but my shorter putts under 8 to 10 feet I use the Arm Lock putting technique or something similar putting with a left handed putter. What you do is brace the grip against the lead inner right forearm by pushing with the trailing hand (lower than the right) to keep the putter braced/locked against that lead right forearm. This will use the larger muscles of your shoulders instead of being handsy. Great for short putts under pressure. Check into at least. I find doing it left handed with a lefty putter feels much better than putting this way right handed. Your experience may differ. -- Eric

@erichansen3641 8 ай бұрын

Oh, as an alternative to putting left handed using Arm Lock against the right forearm, I discovered that some pros use that same grip for right handed putts with a right handed putter. Matt Kuchar to name one. So for both right and left handed putts/putters, you can try bracing the putter grip against the right forearm in both cases. Bracing against the right forearm for right handed putts with a right handed putter should put loft on the putter face naturally without any physical modification to the putter face loft by a golf club technician.
