In Tiger Woods 2007 why does the hold not end in Match Play if the person that won the hole putts in?

Because that was the way it was programmed. Nothing is perfect, including software.

It is a sand trap. The golf powers that be do not like the term "trap", I guess it sounds too gimmicky. Also, a bunker is a hazard which has its own set of rules to play out of.

Typically this is called a SHANK.\n\nMany golfers consider "the shank" the worst shot in golf. In a shank (if you are right handed) the ball squirts almost straight right from the moment you hit it. The first time it happens, it comes as a complete shock. You were probably winning and/or about to shoot your best round ever, when it happened.\n\nYou were probably playing "a safe" or "no brainer" shot when it happened. It was "the worst" --- "most unexpected" thing that ever happened to you in golf. The scene gets worse because --- you probably shanked your next shot as well.\n\n\nSo what is a shank?\n\nWell technically it is NOT a "golf shot." A golf shot is something a player tries to hit. As far as I know, nobody has ever tried to intentionally hit a shank on the course while competing.\n\nThe shank is the portion or part of an iron where the clubface and hosel meet.\n\nWhen a golfer hits the ball in that area of the clubhead it produces a unwanted ball reaction which is called and widely accepted as a "shank."\n\nOddly, due to it's recessed position the shank rarely makes contact with the ball.\n\nThe reason a shank happens is because the golfer is trying to play a safe shot. They are trying to "push" the golf ball rather than hit it.\n\nIn other sports or games when we play a safety we "push" rather than hit. In baseball for example a "bunt" is a safety of sorts and we "push" or hold the bat rather than "swing it."\n\nIn golf when we "push," we "push" only the grip portion of the club forward and the clubhead lags behind. When that happens the face twists open allowing the hosel area of the iron clubhead to enter the impact area first.\n\nSo in a shank the hands are in front of the ball (as much as 6 to 8 inches) when the clubhead contacts the ball.\n\n\nNow for the second important part, "What do I have to do to get rid of the shank?"\n\nI'm sorry but as far as I know NO ONE has ever gotten rid of "the shank." We may control it and do our best to prevent it but that's the best we can expect.\n\nSo, how do you prevent or avoid them. Well you need to do, "the opposite."\n\n\nTo correct it, you "must" reverse the club's overall position at impact.\n\nIn this case the clubhead "must" now come into the ball (impact area) before the grip portion of the club.\n\nIn a properly hit golf shot, the "grip" portion of the club and the "clubhead" should be in a relatively straight line at impact. Indeed that is our goal, but at this time we need to overcome and reverse our present bad habit.\n\nSo to do the opposite you must get "the clubhead" into the impact area ahead the hands. Picture a pane of glass so big as to cover an area from the back of the ball up to your hands.\n\nIn a shank your hands or the grip portion of the club make the initial contact with the glass breaking the top of the glass first. Now to correct it, you want the clubhead to break the bottom of the glass first.\n\n\nTo do it properly:\n\nFirst --- relax your grip (this is necessary because the wrists must be able to act like hinges and allow the clubhead to pass in front of them).\n\nSecond --- mentally picture the clubhead hitting the bottom of the glass before the hands.\n\nThird --- just let it happen.\n\n\nOnce a golfer knows what they need to do, then the best way to do it is to simply let the body do it for them. I tell my students, "What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve --- "if" you let it."\n\nThe next thing I had my students do was to shank the ball on purpose. That's right, in order to correct anything you must completely understand why it happens. What better way to understand a shank then by intentionally hitting it.\n\nSo for your drill, I want you to intentionally hit three shanks in

Ask and you shall recieve.. you asked "how" the term bogey came into the game --not what a bogey is correct? \n\nhttp://golf.about.com/cs/historyofgolf/a/hist_wordbogey.htm

Each player is allowed 1 time-out lasting up to 1 minute long per match. This can be done after 1 point if desired, but that would seem a waste! \n\nThe 4 basic shots are forehand drive, backhand drive, porehand push and backhand push. Drives are usually top-spin shots while pushes impart backspin (underspin)

There is usually a large scoreboard by the 18th Green and to be honest, many of them are still mechanically operated. This means that someone will put a card with the player's score manually into a slot, one number for each hole. If a player is under par the number will be in red, if not it will be in black. Note, the scores that are put up are aggregate scores for the entire tournament and not the score they get for that particular hole.

That wasn't a rule, it was a kind of code in the past, when the keeper indicated his full control of the ball.\n\nWhen the keeper is in full control of the ball, an opponent may not challenge him, however he needs to release the ball into play not later than 6 secs. \n\nThe keepers in the past liked to bounce the ball once, before grabbing it again. They can't do that now, the moment he releases the ball from his hands, it is in play, he cannot handle it again unless, it is played by another player. \n\nFor any infringement by the keeper, an indirect kick will be awarded to the opponents where the infringement occurred, except in the 6 yard box, where the ball is placed on the 6 yard line perpendicular to where the infringement occurred.\n\nThere is an offence for charging the goalkeeper by an opponent, this happens when the keeper is in control of the ball or when he appears to be in control (when in mid-air, he rises to catch the ball but is unfairly impeded by a charge).\n\nPlay is restarted with a direct free-kick in this instance.

it must be the quitters, just cause your ahead dosn't mean you've won. A quitter will quit while they were in the lead just so they could say " I was winning you might not have one if I was still in there"

Well you have a much beter chance to hit an open ended straight, because there are 2 card's that can hit and let you win, where in an inside straight there is only one card.\n\nexample if you have 5 & 6 in your had and you get 4 & 7, you just need either a 3 or 8 to win, that is 8 total "outs" were if you had the same hand and 3 & 7 came out, you need a 4 and only a 4 to make it, that is only 4 "outs".

No its "unique" to the Us open, due to the fact its run by the USGA rather than the PGA, plus if you saw, its only a par 70 not a par 72 as most other courses are yet it was exactly the same length as a par 72, just set up to be 2 strokes shorter, hence the fact all the scores were in "over" par!!!

you dam hookers, learn to slice the dam ball while your in prison, insert joke here, it wont be mulligan your taking i believe they call him bubba, no really, i believe you are intitled to replay the stroke - 19-3/1 Ball Accidentally Strikes Opponent Standing, ruling, There is no penalty and the player is entitled to replay the stroke — Rule 19-3. but thats just a rule, what you need is a dam good lawyer, blame it on carl the grounds keeper, and never speak of that day ever again, grip it and rip it

There is no penalty.  You replace the ball.  The hole has not started until you take a swing at the trying to hit it.

Well in such situations, the match shall be awarded to the side batting 2nd. Because, when the scores are crossed then there is nothing left. You might have noticed, that in this ICCCT (ICC Champions Trophy) in the match between Australia and England, Michael Hussey hit the ball for 4 on a "No-ball" to win the match. But, only the "No-ball" was counted in the scores, because once the scores are crossed, then there nothing left in it. And also, the last wicket of the stumping shall not be awarded. So, the side batting 2nd would win the match by 1 wicket.\n\nRawal.

4 if the bases are empty. And now for an explanation which no one else supplied: In order to get a save, the man "in the hole" (3rd to bat) has to represent the tying run or better (so the man on deck or at the plate could also represent the tying run).

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS TURNED IN A TRUTHFUL SCRAMBLE SCORE CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY AND HAVE SEEN SCORES AS LOW AS 53, THE HONESTY OF GOLF GOES AWAY IN A SCRAMBLE, THEY JUST WANT TO WIN...
