Thanks. That was probably 8" of water, or more! Looks like we all owe an apology to @MS256 , and $10 a piece. That would be close to $300?

Using that ruler, @Lihu , John Holmes has got nothin' on me. Sheesh.

Yeah that's not 8" of water. You can still see the top of his ferrule.

It's a bunker so I was assuming that it is hovering over the ball. The ball could also be sunken below his feet level which look to be 6"-8" deep?

Maybe that IS @MS256!

Ha! Possible. . .

The guy in the picture looks to be something like 6'4"-ish with size 12-13 feet.

At least he remembered not to ground (water?) his club like that other clip going around...

Yeah, how does the 'can't ground your club in a hazard' rule work in the case of ball being in water.  Is it not grounded until you are actually touching ground (i.e. touching water is okar)?

That's what I "assumed", but you know how that goes. . .

Touching Casual Water in Bunker with Club Q.A player's ball lies in casual water in a bunker. The player elects to play his ball as it lies and touches the casual water with his club prior to making the stroke. The player's club does not touch the sand in the bunker except in making the stroke. What is the ruling? A.The player incurs no penalty as he did not touch the ground in the bunker with his club prior to making his stroke - see Rule 13-4b. (Revised) Sorry, but when I first viewed that video and commented on it, I didn't realize it was in a Bunker. I watched it on a phone screen. I assumed it was a greenside stream or lake... As for "casual" water? well, that looked pretty non casual, that's for sure. And it's hard to tell if he grounds the club..

No. It's not 8" (or even 6") of water. Nobody owes anyone anything.

Yes he probably was but you don't hover the club that far off the ground.

Yeah, possibly 4" of water, which was still pretty good. :beer:

Casual water in the bunker doesn't count.  In a water hazard it would be a 2 stroke penalty.

Is that a range ball?

I think that's a still from one of those high speed shots. The stripe would show the spin put on the ball.

      How Many Courses Have You Played?

      By Maroon88 ·

      I have played 210 courses.  Maybe more, depending how you count them.  Some destinations have more than one course for the same club house.  Courses that have 27 holes, I've counted as 1 course; But some  have distinct courses.  For example I recently went on a golf trip to Robert Trent Jones Trail in Alabama.  We played 3 VERY different  courses even though they shared a common clubhouse.

      I agree. This is one of those subjects that people are uncomfortable talking about. It's 2024 and it still feels stigmatized.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By billchao ·

      Chipped in for birdie with a 9I on #8 at Spooky Brook, but it's a repeat. I had four birdie opportunities inside of 12-15' today and I didn't make a single putt. I'm only missing #1 on the composite for the front 9, but I only have three holes done on the back 9.

      My Swing (Pinseekingdreams)

      By billchao ·

      Based on what you wrote in another topic, I think you have a pretty good grasp of what it takes to make mechanical changes. Just keep at it. The only thing I can add is to exaggerate the move more that you're trying to change. If your swing is currently A and you want it to be C, don't swing C at slow motion until you ingrain it because in all likelihood you're going to end up somewhere closer to B. Swing at like G in slow motion to end up at C at full speed. Does that make sense?
