Have you ever read the golf rulebook? Except for the PGA geeks that write the rule book and the nancy-man who called the infraction after seeing it on TV, nobody can know all the rules. I doubt that any pro knows every single minutia of this rule book. Hence, THERE ARE rules officials on the course, who do in fact invoke penalties when not reported by the player. And, the players themselves frequently call officials for clarifications and rulings because the rule book is so convoluted and full of ambiguous rules.

I guess my initial argument is... Why in the world, if you are fan, (for whatever reason,) watching tournament on TV, not want to see good competition? If I was Julie's opponent, and knew the rule, I would not call it her. Thats bunk, I would hate to win because of some stupid rule. Players get to warm up before playoffs when there is a tie, they should get to warm up after lengthy delays.
I know in my profession, and many other professions, not knowing the rules and/or forgetting a rule isn't a very good excuse.
