2 questions regarding rules....
1. Is throwing over OB considered OB? A gentleman I played with this weekend said that you are suppose to go around OB (no mando) if not there is a stroke added to your score. (OB in question was a thick grove of trees, and a baseball field)
2. How far back, left, or right from your marker disc are you allowed to stand? Say you throw your first shot 10' into the rough behind a tree. Are you allowed to back up 4 or 5 feet to give yourself a better shot? Or can you go four or five feet to the left or right as long as you don't advance yourself past your marker?
I have never played in a tournament, just with friends who really don't care about this stuff, but my curiosity was peaked when we got to talking about OB, and my buddies lie behind a tree.
