I'm not even sure I'd want to be standing behind him, as great a player he is. Also water is in play.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

With water in play i'll probably pass! Without water, I think I would try it, though I doubt i'll get the same result, that was a great shot!

DJ hit a tree two shots in a row last week. He made a similar on the this one though.

I've tried shots like this in the past.   I believe the odds are favorable to make it successfully.

My answer was yes before I opened the thread.  Now that I've opened it, I wonder what kind of sick weirdo wouldn't try that shot.

In match play I would give it a shot rather than punching out to somewhere with an opening.  That said, I would fail most times to reach the green and would likely wind up wet.

I'd definitely try to pull off that shot. 

I would definitely NOT try to pull off the white belt he's wearing. 

Skinny young guys can pull off the white belt, full figured fellows or older guys should avoid the white belts like avoiding the white stakes.

no, white belts should be used to indicate people that need help reading color coded signs, or those that should be served leftover beans from mid-level restaurants.  Perhaps as a punishment of some kind.

He was already +5, nothing to lose. If he was a shot up or down from the lead, I wonder if he makes the same call. Of course to him I'm sure it looked wide open....these guys are good...….
