I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed. 

I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.    

To follow up on this now that I've played it, hitting something short of the pot bunkers (so 3iron for me from those tees) is absolutely the right choice. The trees on the left are quite large and there are some mounds/uneven lies around both of the pot bunkers too.  I mishit my 3iron slightly but was still in the fairway with like a 9iron to the middle of the green.
