Played a scramble this weekend.. Somehow our best drive was behind a line of trees. My friends grandfather takes his swing trying to 3wood it through a 6ft gap in oak trees. He hits the tree square on and the ball rockets back at 150mph right at my friends crotch. He jumps in the air and does like a leg kick thing lands and falls over. The ball missed his gonads by id say about 4in.

That was almost the most ballbreaking shot I have ever seen!

1) The putt that hits the unseen divot on the line to the hole and pushes the ball offline.
2) Hitting the 3wood and hybrid off the tee so well that you pull out the driver and mishit it badly
3) The chip shot that bounces off the clubhead perfectly and flies right on line, but hits some weird part of the green and takes a huge bounce and roll 30 ft behind the hole
4) The uphill putt you hit like a downhill putt and make 3putting difficult.
5) The par3 tee shot during a windy day in your face that you hit exactly when the wind stops for a few seconds and the ball flies over the green.

I hate when I execute a punch shot perfectly, and it still gets too high and hits a branch. Happened to me twice this past weekend, and both times the ball deflected OB or into a lake.

Tagged a drive around the corner on a par 5, had about 200 yards, pulled the 5 iron, the ball was flushed heading for the pin and it just hits the steep slope of the bunker and i short side myself with a bunker shot. Hate watching something so pretty end up so wrong.

Having your hip shot hit the edge of the fringe, and just launche sit 15 past the hole when you know if its a half inch more its with in 5 feet.

Trying to reach a par 5 in two after a good drive. Hitting the ball flush and dead straight with a fairway wood or long iron, right at the pin. It's flying through the air in what seems like slow motion...all the while you're already thinking about your eagle putt...how long will it be? 15ft? 8 ft? 3 ft!!?!?. Oh golly, this eagle is really going to help my score.

Then suddenly your ball seems to run out of gas and falls out of the air, plugging in the lip of the bunker in front of the green. You end up making bogey and walk to the next hole just shaking your head and mumbling to yourself. F'ing golf.

Yeah, this is the WORST! Especially if you only crush one like that every few rounds.

always happens when people are watching!

i also hate the thinned iron shot in winter...the one that stings so much it brings tears to your eyes.

    • Its simple, YOU are responsible for reporting YOUR score correctly, at every level of golf.  Do you imagine a top pro would really trust anyone else with his score? Without getting too far from the original post, the Rules have been revised every 4 years for decades.  They're continually evaluated, and most changes are in response to changes within the game.  BTW, if wind blows your ball off the green before you've lifted and replaced it, you play from wherever it ends up.  The TV call ins weren't a rule of golf issue, they were a PGA Tour issue, all in an effort to get the call right.  
    • Someone asked what I propose. I think if the bunker is full of rainwater, you get to drop it with no penalty directly in back of the bunker, so you still have a tricky shot of chipping over the bunker. People are talking about local committees and such which we just don’t have at our level. My league and playing partners gave the free drop with no issue. My original purpose of this post was just to understand what the “real” rule is, and I now know. But now I also want to encourage people to see that many long time golf rules are outdated and illogical, and hopefully encourage people to push for change. They made some changes in the last few years, so I’m hopeful the game I love will improve if enough people speak out. A lot to hope for posting in a little forum I know, but you have to start somewhere.
    • You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.   
    • There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.
    • But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
