I know, you are supposed to "play the ball as it lies", but suppose your ball was well struck down the fairway. Even if your ball is in a divot, you should play it there anyway. I often play at courses with poor upkeep, and the divots sometimes are massive...almost holes. I pick my ball up and drop it, does this sound like cheating, or would most of you do the same? Also today, hit it right on the edge of fairway/slight rough, and there is about a 3 foot ditch that is maybe 2-3 inches wide. My ball is in such a way that it is impossible to hit it, and the ditch is just so randomly placed, it almost looks like something that was made by an earthquake, I dropped my ball there too. What do you guys think?
