In our second hole, a par 4, there is a pond about 230 yards out from the blues (really white tees). There is a drop area on the other side of the pond leaving about 100 yards into the green.
In my mind the drop area is there to speed up play after hitting into the pond on a second or third shot and help golfers get through what is the #1 rated hole on the course. I don't think it is meant for anyone going into the pond off the tee. If you're long enough to do that, in my mind anyway, you should drop in front of the pond and play your third from there.
Am I at all correct or is the drop area viable for any shot going into the pond, off the tee included?
