Golf is a tremendous sport and referred to as a gentlemen’s game. We, as players, are responsible and expected to call penalties and rule violations on ourselves. After all, that is a difference between golf and other sports.

I will never forget the story about Bobby Jones in the 1925 U.S. Open when he called a penalty on himself, when his ball moved while addressing it. Nobody else on this planet saw it but him. He called a rules official over and told him what happened. The rules official questioned Jones, who did what was right within the rules of golf. He was assessed a one-stroke penalty.
