First hole county championship this summer . Pulled it left on a dirt mound. took a free drop and hit slight right of green with long iron . Chipped up and how hum par .. Few of the players said I should've took a penalty shot since it wasn't roped off. Pro came out and said 2 club lengths and no penalty
Shot a 77 .. But this up and down after a bad drive helped me really make some great putts that day . A tight long course from the back . 77 was middle back , not bad from a old fart like me

Pro was right about no penalty, but wrong about the relief procedure. Should have determined the nearest point that gives complete relief from the condition, but not closer to the hole, nor in a hazard or on a putting green. Then you measure or estimate one clublength from that NPR and drop within that measured arc, still maintaining complete relief from the condition and not closer to the hole than the NPR. See Rule 25-1b for the actual wording.

I don't know why, maybe I've just never noticed this happening, but my ball was covered in sand from rolling in, struck me as odd!
Here was a fun, harmless little guy.... Middle of fairway, cant remember which course, but was in Utah...
And then there was this guy who asked to play through....his Barry White voice suggested I let him do whatever he wanted....This was home course in Montana @ Yellowstone Country Club, hole #2, on the green....

Thats pretty normal when it's wet out.

That's what I thought. But I got to thinking and couldn't remember the last time I saw it. Maybe I'm not in bunkers as much as I think! Especially early in the wet morning dew!

Worst Lie EVER - Lets have some pics of horrendous lies
Worst Lie EVER - Lets have some pics of horrendous lies
This was not what I was looking for when I approached the deep greenside bunker after pushing my approach. Oh well ... somehow managed to get some height on it & on the putting surface and managed a decent lag & ultimately 2 putted. Lets have some of your worst lies ...

I wish I had a pic of the one I just had. Landed on a par 3 short but 2 yards from the green, ball literally buried below the surface. Ground there had just been watered and was super soft....

free relief!
here's my worst lie caught on camera, ball being held up by grass directly over water (hole is to the left)

Had this gem a few weeks ago. It wouldn't have been so bad had it not been where my tee shot (on a par 5) came to rest. Hacked it out, 2 more to get close, chip and a putt for bogey.

First one is mine from last winter, lift and clean FTW
Second one isn't mine but found it approaching a par 3 with trees down the right side.
On a side note man is photo bucket a PITA with all the pop up ads

I had to hit one pretty similar to that at The Gauntlet. Not in a cactus though.

Worst lie I've had seen in a while. This is bhilton in Lake Charles a couple years back at a THP event.

I hit a sh!tty pull of the tee at #3 at Bayonet and Black Horse (Black Horse side), which is an 375 yard, uphill par 4. I watch my ball hit a smaller branch and ricochet HARD left and disappear. This is where I finally found it.
I ended up using my Orange Whip to get it down prior to taking a penalty for an unplayable lie :bulgy-eyes:

So I hit my ball into a tree yesterday, walked up to the tree expecting it to be under it, was even using an orange ball so I thought it would be easy to find, all 3 of us walked all the way around the tree before we found it, had to get a pic, so did my playing partners!!!

Nothing out of this world odd but 3 holes in a row my tee ball came to rest in divots that resembled ditches.
