    Golf is a game where we play it as it lies; that includes good lies and bad ones. I remember reading one time, that it was never meant to be fair. I like that.

    I will vote for the double hit rule for worst. At least that one is going to change. I don’t mind the divot thing - all part of the imperfect state that defines golf

    Ground under repair includes any holes made by a greenkeeper so including a divot isn't all that far-fetched.

    In the event u hit a terrible shot, looking OB, it hits a tree and comes back into the middle of the fairway - do you say 'no! I'll play 3 off the tee because that was a terrible shot and should have been OB?'
    Plenty of luck good & bad in golf. However to answer your post, no a fairway means you hit it where you were supposed to. I clip the ball and a divot is a mistake, which makes hitting out of one even harder.

    Add to that often a divot on a public course is a result of golfers not replacing or filling them properly.

    Nice response... ? Can’t take your RO hat off ever eh. You are aware that when people complain about a certain rule it isn’t meant to insult you, or as a personal affront to you.

    You could have offered even a little insight into how people will try to say everything on the fairway is or was a divot and need relief...

    Not the point...... A ridiculous rule.

    3 off the tee vs. unplayable and get a drop also irks me (not that I do it).....
