Agreed, the situation today was pretty much once in a lifetime, not unlike the 12 guys who moved the boulder for Tiger. I think anytime you take a stroke for an unplayable lie, you should go to the nearest point of relief not closer to the hole, rather than straight back as far as you want to go. That forgives unfairly the penalty for a mishit. I know the rule applies equally to any player, but that's a bad rule as evidenced by today.That 20+ minute delay was bad for all the tight asses out there to see, who now will try to apply the rule the same way on weekends.

I'm also referring to the absurd situations where people phone in to complain about things like Craig Stadler's towel, or Lexi Thompson putting the ball to the side of the coin rather than the front. And the especially anal rule where a player assumes his putting stance and the ball wobbles but does not change position, yet still incurs a penalty stroke. Players should be allowed relief from divots. One should not be penalized for someone else's bad behavior. Same with a ball in a footprint in a bunker. Further, a ball hit OB should be the same as any other lateral hazard.
