Went out today and shot a solid 81 for my first round of the year.Ran into a situation that made me develop this thread.On the third hole I hit a poor drive way right into any area with medium size trees and shrubs. Upon Inspecting my lie,it wasn't bad but I had to hit over a 15 foot tall tree 20 feet in front of me to get to the green 115 out.Basically that was my only shot, I couldn't go low-left or right only over.In this situation many bad thoughts came to my mind but I pulled it off. So for me the forced carry thru or over trees is very demanding. A bad miss in a location like this could be super costly. Where a carry over water that is flubbed will have a drop zone. Deep in the woods can be the end of ones good round IMHO. Sure you can take an unplayable,but once you commit to get out of the woods you are usually there until one gets out. What scenarios -/- particular shots cause you fear or doubt on the course?
