All they gotta do is make the rule if you land in a divot and it's deemed by the offical to be a divot you get free relief, that's it.
Punished for hitting a good drive pathetic rule 😡😡😡
I've heard every argument in the book about fairway divots and agree that there should be relief but only if your playing partner agrees that it is indeed a fresh divot. If it were a rule, it would absolutely be abused everywhere with players taking relief from natural ground undulations, just because they want a better lie. If it comes down to your playing partner agreeing or disagreeing, they have to remember that their decision may come back to haunt them if they then find themselves in a worse divot later in the round. What frustrates me most however, is that divots get repaired by greenkeepers, so the very next day, a player could be playing from exactly the same spot but without suffering from the bad lie. How can that be fair?
THE worst rule in golf…
I feel he should have made a better fist of it than that.
Why do Brits sat sar for saw? 🤷🏻♂️
Dumb rule. Would’ve had a drop if he hit it 5 ft to the left on that drain.
Rubbish rule in golf.
This is a stupid rule i have always hated it. Please change to free relief.
I would like to see a 6-inch "preferred lie" rule for any ball that lands on the fairway.
However, "on the fairway" is not always clear.
Without a doubt the worst rule in golf
Go play on public courses more and get some practice in 😂😂😂😂
Imagine missing a win in a competition because of this.
The only way to fix this is to play preferred lies all the time. I agree with that but good luck with getting it.
Why didn't the previous player fix their divot !!!
Yes it is unbearable to play into a divot but fr, for me, I would play a punch shot but having a low loft club. Chip and run or punch with work within 55m as what 70-80yrd. So yea, I think somewhere there. But Imm not sure about other players. I hit far, i hit most 240-290m
One of the if not the worst rule in any sport
Dumbest rule in golf.
Please!! What a pathetic collection of p*****s, including the announcers. For a pro, this is not a problem. Especially at that distance. "…almost unplayable"? Seriously? If it was 220 away, different story.
Not to bad just be really steep on the swing
Even Jack Nicklaus though that this was a ridiculous rule. If you hit your drive (or a layup on a par five) in the fairway, you should have a decent lie.
Looked fine to me
Bullshit rule – you should be able to take relief
That crap is so dumb. Just let them get a drop
This is so stupid. The dumbest rule in golf that you have to play it in the divot.
