This whole scenario sounds too bogus.  OP is saying that some PGA official at an undisclosed tournament 30 years ago at an undisclosed location determined that since the OB stakes on each side of the hole have run out , therefore you draw a direct line between them. Who would even think of such a thing?  I say let's wait for further info from the OP, or write it off as a pirate trick, arrrrrrrr! (Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day)

I would think that the first person confronted with the possibility of being out of bounds on the green would have protested it, so I don't see your concern as likely to be valid.

Like I stated originally ... it is crazy. I have not spoken to my friend for a couple of years now. But I will call him to see how he is doing and get the info from him again. I will repost after I speak with him. Now that we are into this one good I am really interested myself about any further details that may come to light!

But do you agree with me that the moment it was discovered, the error should have been corrected rather that penalizing a player for such an obvious screw up?

If it was called in anonymously, absolutely not.  Rules are rules, doggoneit

While I have never seen it where part of the green was OB, and definitely have trouble with it being in a PGA event...anyways, I have seen where an inadequate number of OB stakes on a hole behind a green made portions of 2 different run off areas on either side of a green OB.  The area behind the green was pretty much designed in a half circle.  The grass was mowed to fairway length in 2 different areas on either side of the green and because there was only 3 OB stakes (one on either side about midways with the green and one directly in the middle back...if your ball ran off the green and all the way to the edge of mown area...you were OB (by drawing a straight line between 2 stakes.  It was a new course and this was their inaugural member event.  Before the next event, 4 additional stakes were added.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      updated swing notes Setup - Same stuff. Good posture, weight in balls of feet, engage lower body more.  Backswing - Same stuff, hinge fully by P2 by using wrists. LBift left arm straight up to top of backswing. Control swing length, though it is way better. *Always a reminder 😊  Downswing - More of starting the downswing with lower body rotation. Getting the right hip rotating out towards the ball and around me, and the left hip goes back away from the ball and back around me. Straighten left leg as soon as possible. Still a bit of a struggle to do this.  Still the hand path and club going down behind me, feels like the right arm stays really wide and gets wider.  Though, I don't think I have poor hip flexor mobility. I stretch and move the crap out of them almost on a daily basis. It is part of my daily mobility routine for the past year.  This position is kind of wonky looking 🤣.  When I took my swing to that position and feel like I really sink my weight to the outside part of my left heel while extending the left hip more. I felt a big resistance from this area in the leg (sorry that is the right leg, blame Google). I was like, WTF! 🤣 Yea, more stretching may be needed. I wonder if I am avoiding that movement.
