I had it happen once. We got a crap ton of rain in Dayton. I teed off from an elevated tee box (40-FT above fairway). The ball just disappears underground. During the year, once things got dried out so they could mow down to normal fairway grass height, you would see half to nearly fully embedded golf balls in the fairway. It is called a provisional ;). You can generally tell if you need to hit one. No one ever does. Then you don't have to make the walk of shame. The article is mute for the amateur argument, because a high % of handicap golfers don't even obey stroke and distance rules to begin with. I get it, if you hit one OB, or lose a ball on a weekend and you want to play by the rules of golf to post a score, it sucks. Either walk back or use the MLR. That doesn't validate making it a one stroke penalty. Especially when you are posting for handicap where amateur tournaments absolutely should be playing by stroke and distance rules. So, you have a scenario where people are getting a handicap of stroke and distance and others using a MLR with one stroke penalty. So, the penalty is not the same. So, if the rule was going to change to the MLR with one stroke penalty, then you need to eliminate stroke and distance all together for consistency in handicap and penalty assessment. In that regard, I further disagree that the rule change should be MLR at one stroke penalty, which would be a bifurcation of the rules. -

I tell you no lies! I have hit ball dead center into the fairway and never found it. at least 3 holes on my home course have fairways that dip down slighly, once over the small hill the ball is out of sight. However I have had this happen on other fairways. It could be a combination of the angle of the ball hitting the ground, soft ground and plugging. But this has happened to me and people in my group way more that it should have! I believe the author was talking about the game being slow in relation to amateurs' especially when you add in the "unfair" distance penalty. -

I'm not sure. I don't know your practice routine. Or what you are trying to achieve. I do know that I've seen people hit the really really large bucket of balls at the range (which I think has 150 balls) all in the span of under an hour. Just rapid fire; Wham! Wham! Wham! I think that will make people remember their good shots but perhaps doesn't do all that much to help them repeat that on the course. -
I mean if I hit 10 'beauties' in a row shouldn't I be checking off that box?? ...😜
