I'd love to know the whole story. I like kids, but hate slow play.

**ReginaPerss** · 07-19-2011, 10:48 PM

Seems kinda a jerk move. only his penalty was upheld? Wish there was more on this story.

**JeremyBalll** · 07-19-2011, 10:48 PM

I hope the story is missing something because it makes no sense at all. How do they give him a penalty but no one else in his group?

**limpoporanique** · 07-19-2011, 10:49 PM

Taking away an ace for slow play on the 5th hole??? That's embarrassing for the USGA. I'd still consider it an ace regardless of what was ''officially'' recorded.

**usadatronourl** · 07-19-2011, 10:50 PM

Ouch.

I wonder if he was responsible or the other kids in his group. Even worse to get caught in the crossfire when it wasn't his fault.

I was wondering the exact same thing...

**pinawinekolad** · 07-19-2011, 10:54 PM

There is most definately more to this story.

For all we know, the kid could have been the slow play culprit. He may have taken 18 practice strokes on the 5th tee box. Addressed his ball and waggled the club 10 times. Stepped back because a bug flew over his ball. And started his whole routine over. Then hit the ace.

**kHy87gPC** · 07-19-2011, 11:05 PM

He still holed it. But how do you get warned and cited for slow play on the 5th hole of a tourney? If the others weren't cited maybe they weren't slow. It is usually just one guy slowing down a group.

That's an ace in my book.

**55Beaphable** · 07-19-2011, 11:33 PM

There's a lot to this story that's not written. Given a warning that early in a round. I agree with most of you an ace is an ace and it's a junior event come on now.

Wow...thats rough. Said they were warned prior to the 5th hole, then re-clocked on the 5th hole and that is what lead to the penalty.

**boleroman** · 07-19-2011, 11:35 PM

Poor kid. Id still count it.

I agree. Doesn't make much sense. They couldn't assess the penalty on another hole? I'm very confused... A 1 is a 1 is a 1 is a 1. I don't get it.

**Gosxjqum** · 07-19-2011, 11:40 PM

There has to be more to the story... Especially if he was the one dragging the group..
