Like many folks on Sunday, I happened to watch some of the PGA Championship. For you non-followers of the PGA, I am talking about golf – golf from of all places, Wisconsin.

Yes, Wisconsin was the golf capital of America – at least on Sunday.

I was stunned that Dustin Johnson was given a two-stroke penalty for “grounding his club” in a bunker. Johnson lost a chance to win the PGA Championship and the PGA lost a lot of fans with their stupid interpretation of a rule.

Now I know why I don’t like golf. This is another reason why my clubs have been sitting in my spare room gathering dust for over three years.

Nobody really explained what “grounding a club” meant. This is golf; everyone is supposed to know what that means because the PGA folks, the CBS announcers, and the historians of the game are all snobs. Here is a little info about “grounding a club” for us friendly observers.

OK, now that we know what “grounding a club” means (and I might add without any help from the snobs on CBS Sports) let me just say that in this situation, this was a ridiculous rule to enforce. There were freaking people standing in the bunker – if it really was a bunker and it was outside the ropes. Nobody could tell because people were standing so close to Johnson to get on camera during his shot.  Heck, Osama bin Laden could have been there in a cave and nobody would have found him, let alone a bunker.

One must wonder how many other “bunkers” on the course can spectators stand in, eat in, and drink in.

This “official bunker” looked more like a field where cattle had been grazing and where people were drinking beer in and eating hotdogs in and crapping in. It reminded me of a few fields where I have attended outdoor rock concerts.

At first when there were rumors that Johnson would be penalized, the CBS announcers kind of sided with Johnson, but soon after the ruling they jumped to the PGA’s side. It would have been nice for at least one of these snobby announcers to have some ##### to get ticked at the PGA for a stupid interpretation of the rules, but no, they like their paychecks.

Fans learned a lot about the PGA and CBS Sports on Sunday and we don’t like it.
