You see a lot of people just off the fairway looking for their ball, and that adds time that really doesn't need to be added to a round of golf. Yesterday on the last hole, a par three, I was 5 inches off of the fringe of the green in 8 inch rough with the ball nesseled down. All I could say is where's Phil when you need him. and played and explosion shot with a wide open club to four foot and missed the side hill putt, I lost my match but now I can relate to playing in an open tournament!:rolleyes
