Being at business school, it's nice to get a dispatch from a place where situational ethics is not the standard - professional golf. Last week, golfer J.P. Hayes, playing for a spot on the 2009 PGA tour, realized after a round that he had inadvertently hit two shots with the a non-tour-approved ball.
"Hayes had a choice: He could have said nothing and kept playing, with no one aware of his mistake. Or he could turn himself in and let his mistake cost him a 2009 PGA Tour card. He chose the latter. "
Hurray for taking the tough choice, even when the error was inadvertent and arguably did not impact the results. Not wanting to let moral certitude interlope too long in today's world, 50.2% of of 55,000 polled readers state they would not have done the same thing. More here.
