In case with @Golfingdad If he was taking an unplayable lie I believe he's allowed to drop on the cart path. Then proceed to take relief from the path. Though, nearest point of relief might be right back in the bush. This might be one of those cases you need to practice your dropping technique ;)

It is also one of those cases you don't pick up your ball until you have worked out where the ball may finish after a drop and roll. Once you lift the ball you are committed to taking relief. Putting the back in the path will cost a stroke.

      Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine.

      I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.

      I am terrible at the hip stuff so have no idea how to get it right but you look like you are trying to stall hip slide altogether.

      I think you are right about the margin of error. I was watching the Yankees Vs Athletics the other night. They overturned multiple calls cause it was just outside the box, but then kept a few strikes that just touched the line of the box. the difference in the 2 pitches was maybe a 1/16 of an inch.
