"Juli Inkster was disqualified on Saturday for violating Rule 14-3/10, Use of a Training or Swing Aid During Round, which states that a player may not make a stroke or practice swing using a club with a weighted headcover or “donut” on it, or use any other device designed as a training or swing aid. Inkster was deemed to have used a weighted device while making practice swings on the 10th tee. "I had a 30-minute wait and I needed to loosen up. It had no effect on my game whatsoever, but it is what it is. I'm very disappointed,” Inkster said.
Sue Witters, LPGA Director of Tournament Competition, said, “There was no malice. Her sole reason for doing it was because she had been waiting for 30 minutes and to warm up. The rules staff here all knew the decision and the rule and took it one step further, called the USGA, because that's a penalty that you never want to give anyone if it's not deserved. And we would have loved to have had some wiggle room on that, but it's pretty cut and dry… but being the professional Juli is, there wasn't much to say once the decision was read.”

Uten å kjenne historien annet enn fra hva jeg har lest,så virker det litt hardt dømt...men så vil kanskje noen si at en regel er en regel,og disse burde proffene burde vite bedre,og det er jeg vel enig i:)
