Did you? He won the match against the douchebag.

I don't know if it's codified, but whenever you're in match play & you want to take a drop, the first thing you do is call your opponent over & tell him what you're doing. Otherwise there's no one to 'protect the field.' You are, essentially 'the field.'

And after the round I would report him for what he did.

That issue was settled weeks ago.  If you don't want to be misunderstood then use the quote feature.

You mean like this? Gaw-lee that's purty good feeture!

All ritey,. So it's my fault you didn't know which match I referring to, even though he started his post with the douche-y moves the douchebag made. Even without using the quote feature, it should have been obvious what I was referring to. I credited you with the intelligence in knowing that.

Actually that was yesterday. Ahem...if you had read my post you would have known that.

It's a new day, a new chance for you to correct me on something I was already correct about.

On second thought, I'll take the high road.  Bye.

I'll meet you there since that's where I already was, just cruising along, giving my opinion on the OP's post. You were the one that said my post was incorrect when it wasn't (with the claim that I hadn't read the OP's when obviously I did).

You then claimed it way my fault for your confusion cuz I didn't use the quote feature. So either apologize for being wrong or leave me alone.

Thread hijack.

I played yesterday and my ball landed on the cart path, right smack dab in the middle of the path.

Free drop or no?

Also, free or not, where should I have dropped it?

You don't need to jack a thread.  Start a tread in the Rules forum.

Yes, free drop. You have to determine the 'nearest point of relief' then take 2 clublengths from there, no closer to the hole. So if it's in the smack middle of the path you still have to find the nearest point of relief. Might have to measure.

And just so you know, you don't "have" to take relief...you can hit it off the path if you want. Comes in handy if there's no good place to drop (high grass, etc)

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
