Candid golf rule debate and appealfrom @bigjohngolfs

[01]

Overview

The video opens with a drone shot and a text hook questioning a ruling, then cuts to two mic'd up golfers in a cart debating the time limit for finding a lost ball. They discuss the high stakes of their match and the specific rules before asking a third party, referred to as 'the committee,' for a decision. After showing the golf shot in question and a scoreboard graphic, one golfer formally appeals the decision, which is swiftly and humorously denied by the committee.
