Yes, of course, but in one specific example, the ball was buried in the fescue to the point where your only choice was to take an unplayable or try to hack hard and get it into the rough/fairway but no control (and obviously a hack could easily leave it in the fescue). But the individual was allowed to place the ball within one club length into a playable spot where he was able to get a wedge onto the green and then two putt for bogey, when he should have had at least a double or triple. I saw this happen to this player three times in one round, where LCP turned a probable double/triple into a bogey. But to be clear, the rules of that competition allowed it. But whenever the pros play LCP, it is always only from the fairways. BTW, I should add that my club has adopted LCP from the fairway whenever conditions indicate cart path only. -

Well that’s not how it’s supposed to work right? It’s not LCP ( improve your lie). They’re supposed to place it back as close as possible to its original position. -

My experience is that even for a well maintained private course it is difficult to keep up with GUR unless it's for a special event like a club championship or member-guest. I've seen the competition organizers issue instructions for how to identify GUR and leave it up to the groups to police themselves appropriately. Lift, clean and place - don't get me started. I played one year in a competition group where due to wet conditions every round was lift, clean, and place, except it was allowed EVERYWHERE, not just in the fairways. I finally complained to the director that good players were being penalized because guys were hitting it into really thick fescue only to LCP into a playable lies. So they the changed the rules for last couple of events. Long story short is that I won my flight for the year by winning the tour championship and I won't forget hearing my two main competitors moan out load about not being able to clean their ball in the rough. To paraphrase Pete Dye, "if you want to complain about playing out of the rough, don't hit it there." -

The Cowboys looked elegant against Detroit the other night. Solid performance. So glad we still have Jerry Jones or we’d really be in bad shape.😒
