The question was how deep the DZ was meant to be behind the markers (the TD can designate the DZ as either a tee box or a 30cm deep standard lie).
No one is better equipped for high winds than Eagle McMahon, the Hyzer King.
I wish MPO still played Jones Gold.
802.05.C: A drop zone is a lie. A drop zone is an area on the course, as designated by the Director, from which a throw is made under certain conditions. A drop zone may either be marked and played in the same manner as a teeing area, or in the same manner as a marked lie. A teeing area may be used as a drop zone.
802.04.A: Play begins on each hole with the player throwing from within the hole's teeing area. A teeing area, or tee, is the area bounded by the edges of a tee pad, if provided. Otherwise, it is the area extending three meters perpendicularly behind the designated tee line. The tee line is the line at the front of the teeing area, or the line between the outside edges of two tee markers.
Hole 16's drop zone was a single painted line indicating the front of the drop zone. In this case, it was drawn as if it was the front of a tee area, and it was intended to be played in the same manner as a teeing area. The drop zone extends backward 3m from the line.
The drop zone on hole 16 is located about 5m after the OB line (DZ exists on a small peninsula that was painted to be OB).
...or maybe the other 3 noticed and didn't correct him on purpose?
that'd be pretty lame of them
...or, as lame as telling a vid crew midway thru the round not to use any of the video with him on it because he isn't playing well?
The real question is why he didn't throw a provisional.
just wondering here....does it seem odd that we have a commentator who is the team captain of the title sponsor's players describing the shots and giving detailed info on the discs that company sells and also pays his salary?
i worked for a publicly traded company for 25 yrs and we were drilled on ethics often. in that type of corporate environment even the appearance of impropriety was highly frowned upon. perhaps we haven't arrived at that point.
just something that crossed my mind.
It's clear in the caddy book: "If OB off the tee, MUST proceed to the Drop Zone."
Didn't anyone on the card have a caddy book?
