Jess Wilson will be lucky to survive her reelection in Kew. She won’t be premier.

I’m calling on Jess Wilson to condemn James Newbury’s comments.

"He's given him a little slap!"
Ben Long copped a 50m penalty but is facing sanctions after this tussle with Clayton Oliver, including plenty of contact to the face, capped off by a slap to the side of his head.

@angelar68197975 Maybe it’s time for indigenous peoples to stop looking back and start trying to look forward .

@heidimur It’s hard to believe anyone would fall for her outright lies.

@SimzThema @flushingitgolf So what rule says he can use his provisional with no penalty .
English

@flushingitgolf Total mess! Enjoyed reading that - always enjoy your reporting!
The other Caddie should have waited for Hur (or his caddie) to arrive on the scene and accept for himself that his ball is OB, before getting it from spotter. Coz now he can argue "inconclusive evidence".
English

An insane rules story happened this weekend at the Maekyung Open on the Asian Tour/KGA.
Inhoi Hur from Korea, who won the event in 2021, hit a drive yesterday on the 7th hole at Namseoul Country Club that looked OB, so he then basically abandoned the ball and went to play his provisional which was in the fairway. The forecaddie/spotter then picked up the original ball because it was judged OB, and handed it to his playing partner’s caddie. But the gallery, who were all there in support of Inhoi, argued that the ball was in bounds and a referee had to be called.
One eye witness said it was “very animated”, and several rules officials then had to come to the scene to help calm the situation. After around 30 minutes of heated discussion and the group behind being called through, the Chief Referee judged there was conflicting information and applied Committee Procedures Section 6C(6), which somehow meant Inhui played the provisional ball temporarily without penalty until a decision was made. But what should have happened, is the original ball should have been replaced and a decision made from there. Inhui finished the hole with his provisional ball and signed for a par and a 3rd round 69 to be just outside the top 10.
Overnight, as the story was breaking, Flushing It Golf reached out to multiple well placed sources for clarity on the situation. Several players were prepared to speak on anonymity due to the nature of the situation:
“It’s fucking bullshit. He basically got a mulligan”, said one.
“Obviously he got a mulligan. How is that possible?” Said another.
Another player questioned his integrity and others called for disqualification:
“What kind of ruling is that? The guy keeping his score just signed his card? It’s just an integrity situation, as a player he should know it’s a bad ruling, but he just listened to the officials because it’s in his favour.”
“He should be disqualified.”
Inhui wasn’t disqualified. In fact, he actually went out today in the final round and shot a bogey free 7 under par 64 to post the clubhouse lead. At the time of him posting, his score was good enough to make it to a 3 way playoff.
Then came the real drama. As Inhui was signing autographs for his large group of supporters thinking he would shortly be making his way back down the 18th with a chance to win the event for the second time, the KGA rules team deemed his ball was OB the previous day and added the 2 shot penalty meaning his score on Saturday was altered to a 71. That knocked him down to T3 and he missed out on the playoff by 2 shots. There was then another altercation between Inhui’s support and the officials.
Inhui’s wife has since posted on Instagram questioning the officials and asking for video evidence of the situation. One message translated from Korean reads:
“I won’t accept it. Are they just brushing over the fact the competition official lied?”
Minhyuk Song went on to win the playoff over Mingyu Cho.

@DougRockfish @flushingitgolf Referee . If you read statement the referee said it was out of bounds at the time
English

@flushingitgolf Firstly, your story was designed for clicks, most obviously with the PIC & comment. That aside, you said "forecaddie/spotter then picked up the original ball because it was judged OB". Judged by who ? Forecaddies & spotters do NOT pick up a ball w/o certainty/official direction.
English

@imonlinetoomuch @flushingitgolf Because he didn’t take any penalty thus a mulligan .
English

@flushingitgolf ok clearly I don’t know the rules but how is hitting a provisional the same as a mulligan if it comes with a stroke penalty?
OB or not, you can take stroke and distance whenever which is what a provisional is?
English

@MSanker13062 @flushingitgolf Referee there said it was out of bounds . Thats why it was picked up. Player disputed it .
English

@flushingitgolf Forecaddy or spotter should not have touched his ball unless a Marshall deemed the ball OB. I'm a spotter and you never touch a ball..let the player or their caddie pick the Ball up removes all doubt

@necky_fade Shame that didn't translate into being a magnificent person.

@GraemeStoneham @reignitedem Simply wrong . It was Labor for awhile . Get facts straight
English

@reignitedem Its been a very safe liberal seat since it was created in 2002. Labor held it once. As of a few minutes ago ON had almost 24% of the vote. Thats huge for a first try in a safe electorate.
English

@craigkellyAFEE Given pollsters said on could win a crap result given Labor didn’t contest .

@BrettDwyer1 @eaglesbirdies @BaronPhilbert @TorqueGC_ @MDGreen00 You can hardly compare the PGAT to the PGA. It’s a full on business which is why they’ll end up taking players like Rahm and DeC back .
English

@eaglesbirdies @WesleySouthcott @BaronPhilbert @TorqueGC_ @MDGreen00 Smith had status for that season, the win gave him the next 2, security. I’ve been a member of a PGA for 40 yrs, they are member organisations that only survive due to strong adherence to rules that are voted upon. Most LIV players decided the rules no longer applied to them.
English

'26 Australian Open WILL have the best field in recent memory. If LIV fails to find funding, 12-15 flushers will need somewhere to play. Win the AO, get a Masters start + DP World Tour card. I expect all the kids, all our @TorqueGC_ friends, and more. All they need are invites.
