Daniel's defense in writing the blog:

A couple of tidbits in there that hadn't been posted. E.g. At the time of play, Lindgren did still give Ivey 10 shots. It was after this match, that Erick stopped doing that.

I mean really, are we to believe that these guys thought they had the worst of the match but continued to play, and not only play, but raised the stakes?"

But If Ivey lied about his handicap, then he didn't hustle them, he flat-out cheated them.

no. it's a natural part of golf gambling.

This is the point that really decides the "case" as it were. I've heard from many golfers that lying about your handicap is part of "the hustle", but I've heard from many other golfers that say just the oppisite: that lying about your handicap is outside the rules of golf and is therefore cheating.
I have no idea as I'm at best a very amateur golfer, however if it's any indication, a great many people seem to think Ivey is a cheater in this instance if what's been said is true.
