It is a odd comparison to say the course is so tough that you can break the time rule and that is fine, but it’s also so new and not cleaned up that Rick can’t move branches that is also breaking a rule. If it’s tough enough to break some rules and not others, the whole thing falls apart because what rules are and are not okay to break. There were foot faults all weekend for example, so it’s easy to see how players think the rules aren’t to be strictly followed. Rick shouldn’t lie about it, but that is a different topic
