Because there are so many ideas brought forth, you could probably have two people sitting side-by-side that see it differently - you can have validity in different points of view.

Boy, did I look closely into Michael's shot. Because no one saw it go in, I had to talk to people in his foursome as well as the group ahead of him, which included the course's groundskeeper. The groundskeeper said he never saw the ball go in but did say there was no one around who could have dropped it in.

It was a downhill lie with a 30-mile-per-hour tailwind in high altitude on a hard fairway. I believe it to be true.

It's a gentleman's game based on honesty. Still, we require that someone see the golfer hit the shot.
