I came across this while playing this past weekend in the Love Is In the Air event. I had an opportunity to go for a par 5 in 2, but decided against it due to hazards and hills and everything else. Instead I hit a 3/4 8 iron up the fairway to a 115 yard position where I would have had a great shot at the green and possibly birdie.
Instead I got there and the ball was in a fairly deep divot (about half the ball was under) that hadn't been previously repaired. I ended up trying to go after it and made an even bigger hole and putting it in the hazard. Yes I filled the hole up so no one else would have the issue with that spot.
Thinking about it on the plan ride home I was trying to figure out what would have been the best way to go about hitting that shot. I wish I would have taken a picture. The only options I came up with were pitching out of it 15 yards or so OR choking up on 1 extra club and trying to come down on the ball itself.
I'm just wondering what everyone else would have done. What are your experiences with this type of lie? Any good things ever come out of it?
