The worst lie ever!!

[Vokey Design]

Ok I know what you are thinking but this was not set-up!! I came across this ball durring a search for tee shot that I hooked a good 30 yards :D I just had to take a pic of this.

Try A tree wood.

You can definitely get a club on it.. not so bad at all! :)

[ScrambleforDoubleBog]

Thats a pretty powerful stroke you got there. :eek: You took the rest of the tree clean off:rofl:

[goshawk]

Man, you bring back some memories! 4 years ago I wish I had my camera. I had blasted a drive through a dogleg into the trees. I found the ball in the rotted-out hollow of a tree stump. The ball was about 4 inches below the level of the stump. My buddy asked if I was going to take an unplayable. Duh!

[GQuizzle]

At least its a clean lie

[punchcutdriver]

Easy shot. Use driver and hit down and ricochet the ball off the flat of the trunk. Ball will have top spin and run.

I do not jest. I say "easy shot" only because it makes it easier for me to commit on crazy shots. I'll hit 5 wood off a club sandwich from the patio if presented the opportunity. I once tried to hit a right handed 9 iron, lefthanded, turned upside down, to a ball half submerged in a stoney creek. The result? I didn't get nearly as wet as I thought i would. Gotta think positive.

This was from a tee shot at Rocky Crest earlier this year. A scooping 4 iron got me out but not very far.

I'd suggest a smaller tee next time though - carrying that around has got to be tough on the back :D

Hhhmmm.....is that a green ball? :)

[Big Shooter]

Hhhmmm.....is that a green ball? :)

Upon further examination, YES it does appear to be one of those CHICK-balls!! :$

That's looks like a plugged ball. I believe you get a drop.

Yes is is a green chick ball... but not mine... if you read the first post I stated that I came across this ball... it was not mine... my prov1x was way to the left of this and it had sap all over it :rofl:

Related rules question:

I was in a fairway pot bunker the other day. Instead of taking a nice wedge and blasting out to safety sideways, I tried to pick it clean with a 5-iron and go towards the green. "THUD!!" I heard it, but I didn't see it. I half-expected to hear another thump somewhere behind me but nothing happened.

After a brief inspection I saw that the ball had wedged itself underneath the sod on lip of the bunker. It was a very soggy day, and a newer course, so I guess the sod had not completely settled into the ground. The ball was 2-3 inches into the wall of the bunker. Am I entitled to relief in this situation? If so, is it a drop back into the bunker?

You are entitled relief .... unplayable at the cost of one stoke

Hi Vokey Design

My goal was to 'break 80' and I needed a bogey on 18 to secure a '79'. Bad tee shots on both 9 and 18 but not nervous at all. Found ball beside a tree sitting on top of a tree root protruding from the ground. I didn't add up my score but I knew it was special for me, and fb then said Dad you better get this one out to the fairway and play for a bogey and your 70. I nearly chipped it past the fairway into the other rough. Then I hit a 9 iron a nearly perfect '10' to the front fringe with the pin in the front. 2 putted for my '79'.

That day the bad lie off the wood worked out just fine.

I hear ya bro', started with a ball literally beside a fence on #1 at Glenway last year, ended up with a double-bogey, went on to shoot a 75, my best round ever!! That's GOLF! :cool: :)
