PDGA Senior Policy and Compliance Officer explains rules | GRADE THE PLAYERS | Staggered Stance 211

Josh thanks for writing down what each letter grade is. You should write them down for Ben next time too 😂

[@Philip.Eriksson]

The senior policy and compliance officer has an intense focus on rules to the point of being excessively pedantic. I’ve rarely encountered someone so strictly bound by regulations, with limited ability to think creatively or consider solutions outside the box/established rulebook.

The Europeans don't seem to have any issues enforcing th 30 second rule...

PDGA needs to either be completely revamped, or we need a new system with actual rules and standards. I normally love Nick and Matt, but we really didn't learn a thing that we didn't know already from this interview. Also why no transcript of the live chat? You guys taking the DGN route, "comments have been turned off" approach? No questions about the overall lack of trust from players in the pdga? How bout asking how much women's membership has dropped off since they allow their division standards to be arbitrary just like everything else they do. pdga is garbage!

I do see the live chat replay up now

The answer to the “what do we do at C Tiers” question is to start elevating the C Tier standard, and stop letting bums run C Tiers

Robert Lennart is a joke. Recently in the JohnE controversy, Robert refused to second or even acknowledge a call made in the play off. "I'm just a player, I'm not an official" meanwhile he is an official, is on the board of directors , could have seconded the call and should have. The pdga always screams for the sport to be self officiating but then they themselves don't want to follow or enforce rules.

You are proceeding from bad facts and worse assumptions. Robert is not and never has been on the Board of Directors. He is a PDGA employee, and prior to that he was the volunteer chair of the Disciplinary Committee. He was on vacation that week to play in the event and volunteer at the event. The TD had not designated Robert as a Tournament Official, so he could not make calls for JohnE's playoff under the plain terms of the rules. He also took great care to wear CADL gear, not PDGA gear, to illustrate that he was not there in his PDGA capacity. Again, he couldn't legally second the call any more than JohnE's caddie or a spectator could have.

Leonard, it's Robert Leonard!
