Well, he's safe, but that's immaterial. Golf is a sport that is supposed to exist without gray areas. As bullshit as it was, the ruling against Craig Stadler using a towel years back was correct.
They need to be far more militant in enforcing slow play penalties because it absolutely ruins the game.
I can go out and walk 18 and play in three hours without rushing over shots, but because hackers see the pros do it, they start plumb-bobbing straight two footers, stepping off of shots, and taking five practice swings.
It must stop.
