There's a very helpful slope in front though. It should catch most poor shots. Outright BAD shots,, no such luck. And as they say, if it's the same for everyone, it's fair enough.
Probably, the great thing is, from a rules point of view, is that you get relief if it’s impeding your stance. Your probably better reading them up. 😂😂😂
@@GaryCahuenga Too many rules. Too much relief from this or that situation the player has put themselves in. It comes from the professional game where the players think golf should be "fair" There need only be one rule "Play it as it lies". Being able to choose from three relief penalties is risible. The game has become a laughing stock, at the hands of the professional player. Golf is intrinsically unfair. That is the great joy of the game. We get a laugh at our opponents misfortune and learn to suck it up when it's our turn. It's character building. Not for snowflakes...Oh and don't get me started on that other abomination, the insistence we count our score.
@@GaryCahuenga My arithmetic isn't up to it for a start. If I'm not counting I am the equal of anyone playing the game. Keeping score is the source of discontent and despair. Frankly I'm surprised I have to explain that.............Oh...you're being ironic?
@@gav2759 Well it seems ironic to say the game is becoming for snowflakes, but then also saying you do not want to keep score. Don't you want to improve? It seems very "snowflake" like to just go out and whack the ball with no purpose or desire to get better.
What about in 96 when mcgavin had to play it off Frankenstein's fat foot ? That was a wild one.
…. Woah
👏
You're getting mixed up, that wasn't at Troon
Shooooottterrrrr
“I believe that belongs to mr Gilmore!”
Friday 👌 Sunday 👌
interesting ,thanks
I had the bush situation 2 weeks back an just hit it from there
I love the links courses but having out of bounds 3 yards over the back of the 18th green is just beyond stupid.

Do they also have sprinklers in the deep rough?
You do realise clubs narrow fairways for tour events?
@@davidforman6191 yea that's one theory

I can think of only one, at the 12th. Royal Troon's fairways have not been narrowed for The Open, so they are (almost) all on short grass
@@jimgavin1726he can't read though.
Wouldn't call anything here bizarre.
Don't you have to have white posts indicating out of bounds?
Tiger Woods... just quit watching
Golf used to be a good game before the "professionals" knackered it with all these rules, trying to make it "fair". Which completely missed the point.
How has it "missed the point?"
If you and I are playing the same sport, we should play with the same rules.
