I'm positive you are a high school sophomore. No other age person would jump to the conclusions you that you are....or maybe you are older with the intelligence of a high chool sophomore??
You sir, are the problem with these message boards. Stupid, ill-informed high school kids who hear a rumor - true or not - and use it as fact.
Curtis was quoted as saying he asked someone where to go. If in fact that is even true - which I doubt - that someone was not an official. Remember, there was no official there!! It was not difficult to see where to go.
If he had time to 'ask someone,' he probably would've had time to LOOK DOWN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HIM and see the mud path leading down the fairway!
