Official 2013 PGA Tour FEDEX CUP Discussion Thread - Page 278

Why are people talking about a cheap hand held camera? This footage was taken by the PGA and was most likely on a tripod. Yes, the camera did move, but the ball clearly moved also.

I've worked as a camera operator. As far as I can tell that is a hand held shot. I would be shocked if that was taken from a tri-pod. With all the jerking zooms and jerking motion. It is very likely an amateur camera man with cheap equipment.

When you take a 3 dimensional world and put it in a 2 dimensional frame, things look vastly different. If the camera moves up. It can appear as if the ball rolls down. What I am saying is, as the ball moves down the camera jerks right and then upward. With this camera shot, it is not possible to prove the ball did not return to it's original position.

Plus, the article states, "The infraction was captured by a PGA TOUR Entertainment crew." Not some dude with an iPhone.

lolll

nah, you absolutely can.

but yes if it makes you feel better the camera operator was likely part of an anti-Tiger cabal and purposely kept an unsteady hand in that exact moment to simulate the movement of Tiger's ball -- BACK, AND TO THE LEFT (but then back up and to the right because it oscillated!)

Justin Rose just got a 1 stroke penalty. In the fairway taking a practice swing behind his ball and a chunk of divot shoots right into the ball and knocks it forward. He instantly drops the club and can't believe it. I've seen guys hit their ball while taking a practice swing beside it but death by divot from behind, wow that's some run bad.

Finally saw the video and Tiger definitely saw the ball move and settle in a new location.

LOL @ thinking otherwise. You can even tell by how he freezes like "oh **** it just moved", then moves on with his life like nothing happened.

Defending Tiger here is not a good look.

Man, that story they just told of TW having to see the video three times before agreeing it moved is pretty ugly.

100% that ball moved; not sure how he could have missed it.

Someone yelled "go Tiger" during Sergio's backswing, clearly on purpose. Ban that idiot for life, so effing stupid.

I agree. But that's not what you said. You said, "other sports do not penalise athletes for meaningless details that does not improve or change the athletes position and/or chances and that the athlete in many cases has little or no possibility of knowing happened at all." The difference between an offside trap that works and one that doesn't can be inches. A lot of times, when someone scores, they immediately look to the assistant ref to see if they were offside. IOW, "they had little or no possibility of knowing it happened at all."

But I agree that it's not really comparable to what happened to TW. I was just nitting the thread up. Sorry.

nobody is saying the ball didn't move. did it end up in a different position ... that is the question.

lol @ ppl saying Tiger wouldn't call a penalty on himself ... there is a video camera / cameras on him at all times when he is on the property of a golf course (the only time he isn't being filmed is probably when he is on the ****ter in the clubhouse).

dat a boy Tiger ... nice birdie finish.
