The Dope Stroke Podcast Show

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?
