I thought I'd understood what was going on after 4 or 5 posts now...... not so sure.

Anyway lets discuss something more straightforward, how about, how to define "certain" when the ball may have gone in a water hazard!

I'm apparently just having trouble with my communication skills  because I really am trying to agree with everything you said.

The thread went sideways because of me.  Sorry.

How about we discuss the difference between an incorrectly substituted ball and a wrong ball.

Incorrectly substituted is when you have 12 men in the huddle, a wrong ball is a formal event that you're not invited to.

Easy, next!

I thought it was when a guy enters the ice before the player he is replacing is within 5 feet of the bench.  And a wrong ball is what Bubba hits when he visits Japan.

BTW.....that's not meant to be a shot at the OP for the question, just a general observation.

Exactly. We have a plan being implimented as we speak and the bunkers on six holes are being reconstructed. It is pretty easy to figure out where to drop the ball when you get into one of reconstruction sites. Nearest relief, no closer to the hole.

Not that easy

Within one clublength of the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole.

Ensuring that relief remains complete when the ball has come to rest.

That's a given. The OP appeared to be confused about whether to treat it as a lateral or a regular hazard, which isn't the play. It's not a hazard. It's GUR.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
