Is Golf Rigged? DeChambeau's Penalty, VAR and the Open Controversy | Dope Stroke Podcast Show #82

This week on the Dope Stroke Podcast Show, Bubs, Dazzler and Trottie tackle the fallout from last week's Bryson DeChambeau penalty debate, and the Instagram pile-on that followed. The guys revisit the core question they were actually asking: if a penalty only gets assigned because five zoomed-in cameras were trained on one player, is that a level playing field?Using DJ's controversial 2016 US Open ruling as a case study, Bubs breaks down why the same infringement gets punished for a leader under the microscope but waved through for a player mid-pack with no cameras on them at all, and what that means for how golf polices its own rules.The conversation opens out into a wider debate: should video evidence overturn what's decided in the field of play? What happens if this scrutiny hits a player standing on the 18th tee with a two-shot lead on a Sunday? And is golf's rulebook ready for an era of total video coverage?Plus: the guys react to the DMs and comments accusing them of wanting killers released from prison (yes, really), Trottie explains why he's been keeping his opinions in check lately, and a quick-fire debate on the worst cheating moments in sport history.All that, plus aim point etiquette, spike marks on the greens, and why a kid on his third pro start just won a tour event, on the number one golf podcast in the Ivory Coast.------------Got a question for the guys?
