OPs blatant ignoring of the rules should be punished
I wish I could show the pics my BIL had of her a few years back when she was playing a tournament in Naples. He purposely followed her and got pics of her bending over to get her ball out of the hole

It's a weird tour. The easiest to qualify for but one of the toughest to win on. I see what Emily Pedersen does every day. 6 hours at a time some days at the short game area in addition to range time.

I think Lexi lives on the river in Jup over by JT, Rickie, Serena, etc.. She came out last year w/ members and went right to the back of the black tees and just ripped it off #1.

I'm not a big fan of hers, but she was robbed of a 2nd major in 2017 when a viewer watching on TV called in a penalty on her and she ended up getting a four stroke penalty during the 4th round between holes 12 and 13. The incident occurred the day before during the 3rd round.

She's pals with Jaye Marie - who still lives down the street from me. There are a bunch of lpga's that play out of Trump Jupiter. JMG had a baby - I see her pushing it around. One of the few strollers that doesn't have an old dog in it around here.

Welp....if you ever played very much competitive golf you would know that when she put her ball back down by the coin ....one of two things applied.
1 she knew what she was doing
Or
2 she is dumber than a box of rocks

you choose.

She's far from alone. The ability to tap spike marks down now eliminates a lot of squirrely marks I would think. Gary Player (just using him as an example) is fortunate that high def cameras didn't follow him around for 72 holes. Just sayin'...

I wish JMG had been more successful in her years on Tour. She could have been marketed pretty well with her looks if her on-course success been better. First time I saw her was in Palm Springs in 2012. She had qualified for the then Kraft Nabisco as an amateur. I'm sitting at the bar at the Chili's in PS and I see an attractive, albeit young, lady sitting next to this guy with this wild hair coming out of his visor. The next day, I'm on the course and I see the guy with the wild hair and he's caddying for this same girl and I was like, 'wow, she's actually in this tournament?'. The guy with the wild hair was her dad and they were a decent team out there (she made the cut that week). I got to interview her a couple of times over the years and she was always forthright and humorous with her answers. It's nice to see that she's found success in life off the course.

She was in a real bad E-bike accident up at our beach here. She'll never be the same most likely.

There are tournament officials with the groups and none of them called her on it. If I am not mistaken they changed the rules ending the practice of armchair officials calling in rules violations.

True on the armchair.

To see a player finesse their spot a person would need to be right on top of a player. In golf players police themselves. I get that she did not move her position much.... but then again Patrick Reed doesn't nudge his ball very far to gain advantage. Players and rules officials can be reluctant to get involved for numerous reasons. Some people just aren't confrontational. Unfortunately, some players trying to gain advantage will use this as a window of opportunity.

An association I was in was trying to address cheating allegations in a meeting years ago and was talking about how to curb it. My boss at the time, a very good player and former state open champ, spoke up. His advice was to keep things as they were since if a player was intent on cheating it was a tough road to stop them. Every time I see Patrick Reed it takes me back to that meeting.

If only other sports had the same rules. How many times does a guy say he caught the football when he knows he didn’t. Then came replay but the guys still do it. Then laugh at the outcome knowing that he didn’t catch it or if it was missed he says I gotta away with one there.
