Looking forward to seeing DGCR's own Fish58320 playing well again today!
I would never, in a million tries, be able to make a 320 foot throw from the tee box, that would carry the water and land in bounds.
So my question is, during tournament play, do I HAVE to make that throw, knowing it is going to land in the water and be a lost disc....
OR can I concede the stroke, take the penalty, and go straight to the drop zone and throw my 3rd shot??....
the only other option I can think of would be to toss a lay up into the OB pond very close to the edge, just in front of the tee box, (so that I can retrieve my disc), take my penalty and proceed to the drop zone.
I looked through the Rules Forums and looked through the PDGA rule book, but didn't see (or failed to notice) an answer to this question.
Thanks.
Thanks for that.....so it seems, based on "may" give the option, that a TD "might not" give that option, which would leave me with my 2nd choice of laying up into the OB water.As mentioned above, 806.02 G says a TD may give players the option to go directly to the DZ with the penalty (and all of their discs, safe and sound).
I was going to say, you could ask someone stand in front of the tee and ask them to catch your disc before it goes in the pond, just toss it at them. This used to be the advice given in these situations some years back. But now I cannot find it in the rules anymore. It was something like, "altering the course of a disc to avoid it being lost is not regarded as interference".
I was wondering what people thought about the harsh spot PP's card mates gave her on hole 9. (pretty sure it was 9)
She went OB just past the basket and the spotter showed where she was last in bounds which would have given her a tap in. Her card mates gave her a spot about 20 feet further away and behind a tree.
She missed the putt and was clearly ticked off.
The commentators basically said she was screwed as it was clear the spot the other players forced her to take was wrong.
Wow. The fix is in! opcorn:Wow... Dodge reversed the ruling on McBeths shot on 8 yesterday.
McBeth 2 back of Rick with 18 to play. Should be an interesting day!

Yep, he was...that would have been supercool to see him hang onto the lead.Fish tearing it up!
Odd that Steve changed his mind, he was sure it was OB at the time. .

So McBeth's decision to play a provisional from the other pond looks really smart right about now.
A lot of people, myself included figured he was thumbing his nose at Dodge, but maybe McBeth was hoping Dodge would decide that the back pond was a separate OB pond and not subject to the drop zone. It worked.
I saw where they changed the score but is there a post about it somewhere?
