Kenny Perry is one of the majority of golfers who are over par at Pinehurst this weekend, but this is what the "natural area" can do with you, for you, and around you...
Not a bad hole out from the junk...

Mahan And Donaldson Play Each Others Balls... Which Is Wrong...
((HT: Golf Central Daily/BBC/USGA))
On a few different levels...
And it's a two-stroke penalty on the course...
On their 9th hole of the day (the 18th at Pinehurst No.2), Hunter Mahan played Jaime Donaldson's ball and vice versa. That is a two-stroke penalty for both golfers- regardless of intent- and both guys are having issues trying to make the cut at the US Open
Here's what you do next after you realize it...
Both double-bogeyed the hole...
Here's the rule in the books:
Rule 15-3:
If a competitor makes a stroke or strokes at a wrong ball, he incurs a penalty of two strokes.
The competitor must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules. If he fails to correct his mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the round, fails to declare his intention to correct his mistake before leaving the putting green, he is disqualified.
Strokes made by a competitor with a wrong ball do not count in his score. If the wrong ball belongs to another competitor, its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played.
Exception: There is no penalty if a competitor makes a stroke at a wrong ball that is moving in water in a water hazard. Any strokes made at a wrong ball moving in water in a water hazard do not count in the competitor’s score.

Bjorn Bjusts A Camera At Bjritish
((HT: ESPN))
It's the first day of the Open Championship over at Muirfield...
There already have been some surprises...
Some guy named Shiv Kapoor, ranked higher than 200th in the world, lead for a while... so did Mark O'Meara and Zach Johnson tore up the front side. Phil Mickelson had some harsh words for the R&A over their pin placements and Ian Poulter decided to say that the 18th hole needed a windmill and a clown's mouth for it's placement...
Louis Oosthuizen withdrew over a back problem, and Thomas Bjorn broke an $80,000 camera...
Evidence below... and Peter Alliss' call is awesome...
