By now, most of you have certainly heard of the controversy that occurred as the darkness delayed Saturday Fourball matches wrapped up on early Sunday in this year’s Solheim Cup Matches.

If not, you can watch a video clip of the incident here: http://www.golfchannel.com/media/recapping-solheim-cup-controversy/

The putt was probably about 18-20 inches give or take.  Charley Hull is clearly leaving the putting green, apparently headed to the 18th tee.

The putt was not conceded by Charley, not by Suzann, and the caddies cannot concede putts.  So the responsibility to hole out remains.  When Allison Lee picked up her ball she breached R18-2a, a 1-stroke penalty, giving the Euros the hole.

So really, we need not go further than to discuss that responsibility that rests with each player in match play.  Never, ever move or lift your ball unless you have clearly understood from your opponent that a stroke is conceded.  If it is not clear, ask.  Probably, that could be the end of the story.

But, match play is unique.  No form of play better represents the spirit of sportsmanship and consideration for your opponent than does the tone players typically take in their joint conduct of a match.  Win with class and lose with class.  Complement your opponent on their fine play and toughness.  Admire their tenacity and success.  Don’t celebrate their failings or misfortune.  Don’t parade your good luck or skill.  Treat you opponent as you would prefer to be treated.  And above all, respect the traditions of the game.

Why Suzann Pettersen did what she did was probably with the intent to secure a win for her team.  In reality, she will more likely live much of her life regretting she didn’t dismiss the event with a “no, that was good” comment.  What she did may well have been the spark that ignited a stunning USA come from behind victory.  I would not want to be the person held up for poor sportsmanship no matter what the Rules of Golf permit.  

That incident was simply counter to everything I have every been taught or held as true about the game of golf.

Laura Davies may have framed the European angst it best: 

"Disgusted," said Laura Davies, a longtime European Solheim stalwart who was analyzing these matches for Sky Sports. "We have got our best player, Charley Hull, who has just won a point and she's in a flood of tears. That tells you the wrong thing was done. I know [Pettersen] is angry and justifying everything, but she has let herself down, and she has certainly let her team down. I am so glad I am not on that team this time."

Tour Weather Guidelines:

Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses:  If the course is open, we're going to play. 

The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather.  (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness). 

In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
 

Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office.  The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.

If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
