Very true and goes, at least in part, to my point. The situations you cite are going to occur - hopefully not too frequently, but...
I've asked myself a number of questions based on the responses to this thread and, in a sometimes roundabout way, they've always come back to whether, or not, I'm looking to improve my game. Okay, sure, who doesn't?
A good start, I think, was going back to playing the game the way it was meant to be played. Just a start and not particularly noteworthy to anyone but me.
The rest may, or may not, follow but I'm sure it'll include divots and deep rough. Oh, I just
know
it's going to include deep rough!
