I know I've only been playing golf going on two years, but I've played many courses and today was the first time I laid up to a water hazard and watched a scuba diver bobbing up and down retrieving balls. The front of the hazard was 225 yards from the tee and it was another 80 yards across the water. Why anyone would try crossing that water from the tee was beyond me. I suspect most of the balls got wet because it was a blind shot (downhill, over a ridge) and probably easy for some to misjudge while laying up. To my mind, anything more than an easy 5 iron was going to get wet. He was retrieving golf balls by the bucket full.
