What is the point?? STOP

Hazard 9. To score you have to hit the frickin ball in to a hazard on purpose!! So, you find a spot of rough where maybe you can also graze a tree, and the frickin ball lands exactly 20 feet from the fairway....OUT OF BOUNDS!!! Stop it. Please. What is the point??? Find a course with OB way off the fairway.... Geeeeeeeeez.

not going to defend how I set this tourney Stan, ya just got to look for those OBs before you hit into them
you have them on just about every course in the database no way around it.

Are they marked somehow that I don't know?

[davefv92c]

most have stakes, but then some of the designers fail to put these in at times
or you can not see them, it is more of a design flaw they anything else.

if you can make par from OOB that scores well ......hitting near water but not quite in can be good to esp if you get "as it lies"....try a practise round first to scope out any problem areas.....

This is the way the top players "stay on top". However, for me, I just like to play without any practice on any course in any tournament. It's more fun for me to guess and get lucky then to "know exactly" where the best places are to land a ball.

I'm happy with being in the top 5 to 10 in most tournaments without practicing a course in the tournament.

Sometimes lucky enough to win a tournament.

NOT winning can be devastating to some players. Winning only happens when you are having fun during competition. If the mindset is cynical then the outcome will most likely be negative. Just say'n....
