OK, here’s a good rule for golf — the general public should not not be allowed to officiate an event, especially if they’re at home at the time.
Lexi Thompson lost the LPGA ANA Inspiration tournament when a TV viewer noticed an apparent infraction and emailed officials, who then penalized Thompson four strokes — an entire day later — costing her the title.
Another interested viewer, Tiger Woods, thinks that someone at home drinking beer with a straw, and possibly wearing only a barbecue apron, should not be officiating pro golf events.
Viewers at home should not be officials wearing stripes.
