I’m not sure what exactly is going on here. Brush fire? This is in Kansas. Wanna bet he smoked his drive?

Is this considered a warm-up hole?

Courses will burn native areas to generate new growth, our greenskeeper considered it a $$ savings as opposed to mowing costs.
One year it took out a grove of Pines and then stopped using the burn method.

How do you control the burn though? From getting out of hand? Or there are natural boundaries where the fire burns out?

The guy before always stubbed his tee shot into the right rough. Next time out it won't be an issue 🙂

Usually they only burn areas confined by adjacent fairways and keep the fire controlled using the sprinkler systems.
He will have a couple workers around the areas with water hoses also to wet or douse out spots.
They also keep the areas to a minimum and mostly burn various areas which are difficult to mow which a brush hog.

They do this over several days and in small areas at a time.

I was going to say this. Native Americans have been doing it for thousands of years.

In northern Michigan, they didn't!   

This was a few days ago:

Quote

 

IOSCO COUNTY, Mich. — A controlled burn operation in Iosco County has burned out of control, according to Michigan State Police.

It has since been declared a wildfire, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

MSP says the wildfire is only 20 to 30 percent contained and that dozens of residents have been evacuated.

The U.S. Forest Service explains that while immediate response was made, the wildfire has grown to more than 6,000 acres in size.

We’re told further evacuations are taking place in Sid Town as well as the Wilber power line area.

Every controlled burn is under control until it's no longer under control. From that point it's just a burn.

a couple years ago a couple kids thought it would be funny to shoot off fireworks in a nature reserve in high fire season. Google Images the following:

"columbia river gorge golfers fire"

 

this is just one example of what you will see

      Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
