This thought hit me while playing a local course that is under construction. My thought was to have a reverse island during a tournament. That is, the island is OB off the tee box on a fairly short hole. My thought was to have a bit of risk/reward for trying to get withing putting distance. Get too close and a penalty stroke and drop zone. But get close enough without a lie on the island might give you a reasonable birdie putt. It was also inspired by this hole that does basically the same thing but with a safe landing area around the basket.
Is there any reason that a "reverse island" cannot be done under the rules?
