Golf punished the 2 players players this weekend. And the scene was also beautiful

Have you heard of the Lakers game on Saturday evening?

Surely you have to have. With his team down a stake and five seconds to go, Lebron James rode immediately from the arm, jumped into the lane and lofted a blow up and over a pending protector – and in. Tie game! But wait! James raised his hand. He traveled, he said. No basket. Without tie. Not Randy Newman and “I love La” Game over.

What about that game Yankees, anyway? And that last bat? A moment where you-you.

Bombers Down One, Ninth End, Two Outs, Aaron Judge on the plate, Count 3-2. Here’s the pitch. Ball four. We were all square! But keep! The judge returned back to the UMP. That was a strike, sir, he said. He was out. Without tie. not Sinatra and “New York, New York”. Game over.

Not enough. Back to non-fiction.

Almost all of our sports heroes, as you know, are directed by the only word of UMPS, Refs and officials. Talk after you have committed a violation, and you are a goat, not the type of acronym. Most of all, we will take an eye or an immature smile. As the saying goes, it’s just a crime if you get caught.

Then there is Justin Thomas.

Maybe you’ve heard of this, in fact. RBC Heritage, Saturday’s third round, the second hole in Harbor Town Golf Links, the waste area to the left of the road. Found Thomas’ Toe ended here. He began to move some small stones. This is allowed. His ball was perhaps the width of the top of your golf. This is not allowed. He called for an official. Thomas said he saw SOMETHINGAlthough maybe the ball simply oscillated, which would clean it. No, there was more than that. A few minutes later, one official returned and said Thomas’s explanation cooperated to evaluate the sentence.

“I was just in a little – it looks like a bunker,” Thomas said afterwards. “It is a kind of sandy area, I think, the waste bunker. There is only one bunch of rocks and pebbles there, so I was just moving them as we would all do in that situation.

“I think what I was moving, I thought it was more in front of my ball. I don’t know if it probably moved something under my ball or whatever else, but it seemed like my ball had some kind to go down more than to wrap because (the official) came, I was explaining the situation.

“It felt like – it was a strange situation. But in such a case, I saw the ball moving. Only sometimes it swings and not. You have to be mistaken on the side of care, I feel like, in our sport when it comes to such things.”

On Sunday, the story continued, though, in the end, she ended up happy. Thomas won in a play offHis first victory in just less than three years.

Then it’s Ben Crane.

Maybe you don’t want to know about it, but here it goes. Corales Puntacana Championship, Third Round, Eighth Hole at Puntacana Resort in the Dominican Republic, Fairway. There, two of Crane’s golf balls sat next to each other. Two? This is a staggering story. His blow went left and toward the water, Crane thought he was washed, and he fell and hit a second ball. Only the ball began the rocks and on the right road-and eventually reunited with his husband from Crane’s bag. Hmm. Crane struck what he said he assumed it was the correct ball, finished the hole – and a short time later, he was talking to officials. He would choose the wrong ball. And now he had to be packaged. Crane turning the crane into led to his disqualification.

“I didn’t do a good job to identify when I got my number of number I was playing,” Crane said A video posted on his X account. “And I realized that I had played the wrong golf ball through the hole and I realized that I have to disqualify myself because I’m very sure it was the ball I had abandoned and played.”

However, unlike Thomas, Crane’s week was made. These days, the five -time beginnings of the tournament are also rare, so there was hope for a weekend run.

Then what to do from all this?

In such situations, there is always the opinion that someone is looking. Big Brother is a powerful obstacle. Someone turns to himself as a matter of being proactive, rather than reactive. The mother’s attitude fault would also weigh heavier than a golf bag filled with any rank golf ball.

Should there be technology for these kinds of things? Maybe one day. But by then, we are simply left to own, as simple and as complicated as this. Thomas and Crane know well.

At risk, then, of extremely poetic waxing, let’s just say the idea that golf – and perhaps golf only – can be somewhat beautiful through the sincerity of his actors in a moment of disaster should be worth something.

At least, it deserves a story.

Nor is it a fiction.
