O.B. "Aiming Post"
I ran into this on the TGC discussion board.
There is a relatively short hole that doglegs sharply to the right. A public road runs parallel with the hole along the right side of the fairway and makes a corresponding 90-degree turn at the corner. Although the road and everything right of the hole is O.B., the risk-reward tempts many a hacker to attempt to cut the corner. Their drives often fail to carry the distance, resulting in near misses with public traffic and pedestrians.
In an attempt to control the problem, the Committee installs an "aiming post" at the inside corner of the dogleg.

By local rule, all shots which fly left of the "aiming post" are considered acceptable. All shots which fly right of the "aiming post" are deemed O.B., regardless of where the ball comes to rest.
Has anyone here ever run across a similar local rule?
