penalty only occurs if you elect to take relief but your shoe still touches the path.


fore!

I would have never known that.

My one round was well over 100 for the 9 hole course. And totally bizarre. The couple guys who joined my friend and I thought I was putting one over on them at first. The first two holes had a very nice curve to the right, exactly where I usually hit the ball. Second hole the tee shot lands behind a shrub. As they're explaining my options for moving it out I said "I'll just rev up and hit it through there" Which somehow worked
The third however bent to the left and their suspicions were dashed as I hit a few hopelessly into the woods.
the highlights?
5th, a LONG hole and I lifted my head so the tee shot went about 10 feet. Passed on being allowed to do it over and when asked said I'd hit it hard - it would go into the woods and hopefully hit a tree and bounce forward. Which actually happened!
A couple holes later the ball ended up on a little bit of grass at the side of a gully just before the green . Easy right? Wrong, put about 6-7 into the water including one I chased because I was really low on balls by then.
Lost one in some high grass and searched with no luck.
Next hole was the opposite direction and I hit another into the same patch of grass. Found the first ball and asked " so what do I do if I found the ball I lost on the last hole? " By then the answer was "Just play it!"

So pretty much a total disaster except I had a lot of fun.
