easy question

[guyinottawa]

From the fairway, if I hit a ball out of bounds do I have to return to the spot that I hit the ball from and hit again? Or do I have the choice of dropping it from point of entry? And, what is the sroke penalty?

[Gary Hill]

If a ball is out of bounds, the player must play a ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played.

so you do get the advantage of the distance. However, off the tee, you must return and hit again correct?

Thanks Mr. Hill

No you don't. Distance and a penalty stroke is what you get for hitting out of bound off the T and anywhere through the fairway.

No
you have to rehit from the spot you last played

so if your ball is in the fairway at 200 to the green and you hit it out of bounds from there, you have to drop a ball and play your forth shot from the same 200 yrs to the green.


Farzin..............you beat me

[Gary Hill]

No.

It makes no difference whether you hit the ball from the teeing ground or the fairway.

If your ball is out of bounds, you must return to where you hit it from.

[Gary Hill]

[guyinottawa]

Ok, this may seem like I'm repeating what was just said, but just so if I understand correctly...

If you go out of bounds from any location, you must return to the original spot and rehit and it costs you one penalty stroke.

No.

It makes no difference whether you hit the ball from the teeing ground or the fairway.

If your ball is out of bounds, you must return to where you hit it from.

[NoBack]

yep

[Kilroy]

I love it when Steve and Gary secretly agree. Get thee into a cone of silence!

This is why they were confused, guyinottawa...from this quote, it sounds like you believed you get to drop it near the woods ("advantage of distance")...

[Gary Hill]

at what point were Steve and I confused???????????

[Kilroy]

Well, you both say no, and explain it. If the conversation were truly in sequence... Posts were made simultaneously ... oh well it was amusing when I read it the first time

[Gary Hill]

I was wondering why Deep Woods thought we were confused.

If you read them in sequence, you'll notice it.
1) GuyinOttawa (GO): whats the rule
2) GH (and SK) answer
3) GO : oh, so i get the advantage of distance
4) GH & SK: no, no, no, you don't get the advantage of distance, you drop where you last hit
5) GO: why is this said several times...

There was a mis-communication at 3 & 4, NOT that you were wrong, but GO implied something he didnt mean to, and you both responded accordingly. I meant confused as in the MESSAGE is being confused.

I have flow charts.

[Kilroy]

I have flow charts

Good. I am now ready to review them in detail.

[mpare]

Could I ask the keeper of the flow chart if he works for one of the political parties. Turning the clear answers given by Steve and Gary into a confusing mess requiring a flow chart befits the kind of clarity of thought that some politicians or, at least, their advisors have demonstrated in the last little while.

1. Where in your flow charts is where GO ask why this was said several times?

2. Where in your crystal ball is where GO implied something that he really didnt mean to imply?

This is funny as hell... I'm staying out of it.

Let me just answer these questions in order. First of all, i've given this issue a lot of thought. I've weighed all the issues and all positions. I've considered the impact of this issue, and the seriousness of all those involved. I'd like to first say that no ONE PERSON is above the law, the rules or the concepts and principles set before us. I'd also like to say I like peanut butter. I hope I've set this issue to rest.

Heres chart one:

I'm really counting on having "argue with broken27" in small print somewhere in there.

That's hilarious!

You see that isolated box to the far right...it says "Broken makes comment from sideline (this box should be in all flow charts)"...but the file had to be reduced, so the print is blurry...

Deepwoods if you put the same kind of effort into your game as you do in your flowchartting I assume you are at the pro level?

I work hardest on my flowcharting from a 100 yards and in.

At least it is appropriately on the right. How I ended up on the sideline is beyond me, seems like normally I'm right in the middle of it all, but definitely consider my almost "consultant-like" status an honour and priviledge....

I'm just disappointed Gary Hill didn't chime in and start highlighting stuff.
