Ball Dropping Ability - Good or Bad?  

25 members have voted

  1. 1. When dropping a ball, do you plan on where to drop as well as consider the possible roll?

    • Yes, I survey the ground and analyze the likely outcome
      15
    • Sometimes yes and sometimes no - not very consistent in my approach
      3
    • No, I pretty much just determine the area within which to drop and drop the ball
      4
    • No, I do some planning and I won't drop the ball directly into a divot hole but I don't really spend time thinking about what might happen.

    • Other - Describe please.

I think the drop needs to be eliminated in golf tournaments it's non productive and slows the game down. To make it simple you should get a 5 foot area monitored by a official and simply place it for relief because that's what they end up doing 90% of the time anyway.

Not significantly.

Most of the time they do not get to place it.
