Have a look at the Jordan Spieth approach from 2022 that caused the hazard line on Pebble Beach’s 8th hole to be moved back due to safety concerns.

    But….you’d still have the option to play it from said hazard so moving the line doesn’t really accomplish much, no?

  2. Unless there is ob or something they can move the hazard line 100 yards back and it doesn’t change anything here

    Sorry for the dumb question, but what’s the point of the red line if he can play his ball anyway?

    Just have a free drop area. It’s rediculous to expect players to stand on the edge of a cliff. They give free relief for fire ants for heavens sake.

  5. I see this replay multiple times per year and STILL can’t believe this was a real thing that happened.

    I ain’t hitting that shot lol I live around here and way too many people fall off cliffs

    He was already over the penalty area . You have the option of playing a ball out of a penalty area, which he did.

  8. The only way to stop that happening is to give free drops, moving the hazard line does nothing.

    Your title makes no sense…moving the hazard line has no effect…he was already past the hazard line in the video lol…

  10. I can’t even hit off the third level at Topgolf, he’s a brave mf for hitting that one

    I’ve played steeper hills on my local course and don’t fall lol

    Why didnt they have someone somewhat next to him lmao. Imagine if his follow thru sent him tumbling down a cliff jesus christ

    Imagine listening to him talk about it for hours

  14. Should be a local rule that says that any ball retrieved is allowed a free drop behind a line.

  15. While changing the penalty line won’t do anything, they could make the penalty area also a no play zone, which the rules clearly state could be made to protect players from danger.
