It makes a lot of sense that golfer can be penalized two, three, six holes or more after finishing playing them for something he was told was OK at the time.
Maybe the NBA can enact such a rule. Midway in the third quarter an official will call time out and pull a guy off the court saying , "We looked at the first half and should have had four more fouls in the first half. That one in the 3rd quarter was actually his sixth. He's gone."
How about in baseball if the league takes away the World Series winning HR by saying the umps on the field were wrong and the guy on second had really swung not checked. That would have been strike three and the third out. Too bad, so sad. The other team wins the World Series."
You have to admit golf has some really stupid and unfair rules.
