Darren Rovell posted this picture from the 33 rules the CBS commentators were given prior to the playing of The Masters in 1979. Supposedly Gary McCord disobeyed the rules in 1994, and he has never broadcasted the event since. These rules are fascinating to me. Some could argue that these rules are merely semantics, but anyone who has ever heard Jim Nantz on Sunday at The Masters knows why they are in place. There's just a softer tone to the greatest golf tournament in the world. Then somebody posted this year's rules, and they didn't disappoint either.
Side Note - As if you needed any more reason to get excited about the British Open this week, John Daly, Miguel Angel Jimenez, and Jason Dufner are paired together for the first two rounds. Cigars, cigarettes, Cabernet, (Diet) Cokes, crazy hair, crazier pants, and controversy surrounding the former Mrs. Dufner might be enough reasons to get me to watch. I've already started stretching.
