So watching the Dell Tech tournament this afternoon, M. Leishman has a funky shot in a hazard on the 18th. The shot practically shanked dead right and the cameraman actually made quite an athletic move to avoid being struck. My question is how would the rules have played out had it struck him? Would it be treated as a ball hitting a spectator would be? Seems like it should be handled different for some reason as he was standing like 8 feet away and not part of the gallery.

That was crazy! Looked like it came off the toe. The commentators said it could have went back down the gulley if the cameraman didn't move, implying he'd have to play it from wherever it ended up.

The cameraman is an outside agency.  He would have played his next stroke as it lies.

Rule 19-1 applies.

Quick escape from the cameraman. The rule would have been to just play the ball out from where it ended up - same as hitting a fan.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.
