2 rules questions from playing yesterday...
I was teeing off at GLEN MAR yesterday and I used a 3 iron from the white tees. It was one of those holes were all the tee boxes were about 5-10 yards apart (pros, mens, womens) and My ball was a line driver, a bit to the left, and it hit the tee box marker infront of us (the left one). Had it not been there it would have ended up in the fairway but to the left.. still could have had a decent shot from there.
Next question, there was a hole were my friend landed on the left side of the fairway but there was a big sold piece of mud that was the size of a tree trunk right where he would have to stand to take the shot. There was a tree infront of him so if he pushed it to the right a little it takes the tree out of play (not completely but being to the right of and behind a tree is better than being completely behind a tree) but moving it foward puts him close to the hole and moving him back doesn't really do anyhting but him him a place to stand. We are just casual players bbut try to play fast and follow as many of the rules as we can. What should we have done under the rules and what should we have done just playing a casual round with people backed up on the course (3 groups were on our tails waiting at the tee box)
