I was watching the golf tournament where leader Sun-Ju Ahn was assessed a two stroke penalty for a violation of rule 13-3/3 - building a stance. She was in a bunker, her ball was on the upslope, and she moved sand with her feet to help her stance. According to the rule, I understand the penalty.
However, I constantly see golfers who are in the bunker wiggle their feet from side to side to even the sand while preparing for the shot. Isn't that the same thing? How come no penalty? I just watched an LPGA golfer shuffle her feet in the sand of a bunker just before hitting the ball, yet nothing was said. What gives?
