Evil yardage marker yesterday...

[iPutt]

I went golfing last week with a guy from my club (an OLD guy) and his two sons, one of whom is a good friend of mine. The friend could not hit a fairway with his driver to save his life, and he was averaging 50 yards per drive, with the longest drive going maybe 100 or 120 yards. This went on until the 18th hole - a WIDE OPEN par 5. He winds up and actually hits a good long stright drive....right into this:

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Why is that even there?

Best I can tell, for comedic relief!

i don't have much experience playing with marking sticks in the middle of fairways, they are usually off to the side, along the tree line.

I have on multiple occassions hit my shot and had it land on one of those plastic/concrete discs/square markers that sit in the ground. my ball flew about 50extra yards, but not necessarily in the direction i wanted, and i needed to replace my prov1 the very next hole due to all the scuffing haha
