Next time you lose a ball, tell the guys you think you saw someone pick it up and see how far you get with that one. 
If this had happened on the second hole on sunday to the first group off, do they hold up play for 30 minutes and possibly not be able to show the finish on tv because of it? |
Fine point...I think the entire affair is quite smelly myself.
And I agree about the posts here RE: pros rarely losing balls because of the gallery..
At our course now, the bermuda rough is only 2 inches high - but it is SO dense, you must almost stand on the ball to find it. Balls
cannot be seen from a distance of six feet away. We played yesterday and whenever a ball went into the rough, it took all four of us looking diligently (getting OUT of the cart so we could walk and look straight down vertically) to locate balls. One a par 5, I hit into the rough three times and it took us 20 minutes to play the hole...every time I had a good chance of losing it...and these weren't shots that were terribly wayward...perhaps only five yards beyond the fairway.
Yes it would be very very interesting indeed to see them play a tourney with no gallery and very deep rough...watch those bastards have to return to the place where the previous shot was played and take stroke and distance.
You'd watch those stroke averages climb substantially if they had to play it like we do....
