How do you not know the rules?

LPGA pro disqualified from AIG Women’s British Open after caddie uses rangefinder (msn.com)

They are now legal in most PGA events, but some still don’t let you use them.
How the hell do you not know the specific rules of a Major Tournament?

Remember this example of not knowing the rules, from an earlier thread:

I forgot I could only be an ass three times instead of four.
I actually like McEnroe, but he as a dick at times.
