I'll make the award in a bit, after I get back from the post office.

Suggestions on what it should look like? The best awards are somewhat "meaty" - a ball with trails showing it moving upward is probably too plain and small. A hand catching a ball?

I made it already, actually. :-)

But I like that image, and maybe I'll change the award. Mine's pretty straight-forward and not at all funny.

We actually used to do this as part of our little "big break" competitions we used to have after our rounds were over. I don't have my 60* that I used. I may have to borrow one to get the video...

Oh, completely understood, and agree...I just didn't read before I "created" (er, borrowed part of) that graphic.  :doh:

      Water in Bunker

      By klineka ·

      No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.

      It's not dumb. It's dumb to randomly allow a free drop that provides an advantage you don't deserve. And your committee had the option of determining it GUR. Did you talk to them?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.
