Change the OB Rule?

Also, let‘s be the real that ball was probably under 2 inches of water max. Over 99% of the time you hit it into a pond it’s unplayable.

As I've always said, it depends on how deep the pond is (or more accurately, how deeply the ball is submerged).

It's not a theory. You've asked multiple time and have been shown several times that it IS possible to play a submerged ball.

Rule #51.

You haven’t shown one time a submerged ball actually being played. A golf swing and a golf shot result.

Why should I? @RealPretendPsychic did a great job.

Yeah all the penalties are arbitrary, that's kind of my point. Its pointless to discuss whats a fair or unfair penalty.

All of the rules can be described as arbitrary. It is a game, not an examination of the nature of the universe.

Looking forward to Bryson DeChambeau chiming in on this topic after his experience at the Memorial today.
