I would move the ball away from the tree one club length, no closer to the hole. Not sure what the official rule is though.

Pure pain. I’d wanna drop but if that isn’t a option I would just take the putter and get it out of there. Little firm tap and take the stroke.

Probably use my putter to knock it as best I can onto the fairway or onto a spot with a decent lie and angle back to the fairway.

Apparently I’m the only one taking an unplayable and moving on? People in here talking about hitting that with a putter.

As it lies, cuz I’m not a coward

I’m tossing that sumbitch into the fairway, cracking a beer, then skulling a “flop shot” 20 yards past the green

That tree was Defs planted by a man. Free drop!
breakparnotwindows
Glancing blow, but you wanna pinch it against that bark to get enough spin to bend around the trap and release to the pin.

Unplayable. A broken club or wrist is not part of my playing experience needs.

Probably a fairway wood

Trees are 90% air. Just gotta find the gaps.

Grabbing it off the tree and placing it on the ground because I don’t get paid to play golf and it’s just a hobby
Chrisnm203
I’m smashing it directly through the tree and onto the green. Maybe in the hole.

Unless you’re wearing your gaffs, you will be playing this left-handed 😂

Not sure what’s more impressive the lie or the ball looking like it just fell out of the box into that lie?

Foot wedge

Take an unplayable lie penalty.
Fjordhous
That green stuff to the right? I’d put it there.
jdevo713
I would try until one of my buddies tells me not to and to stop being an idiot but then I do it anyway ant it goes three feet forward in the woods and they look at me and say see? You happy? And I say yes I am happy I played my ball as it sat and then I find it deeper in the woods, rub one out quick with my tears and get a quad bogey
PROfessorShred
Take an unplayable
lestermuffin
A tree wood, obviously
sicsemperyanks
Seems like a pretty easy unplayable call. Two club lateral drop should get you in the rough on the right. Trying to hit it may get you to the fairway, but is more likely to leave you in a worse spot than a drop.
MeatlockerWargasm
Easy, play it like the useful idiot would. Pick it up when you think no one is looking and drop another out of your pocket onto the fairway. Must have ricocheted off the tree.

Play it as it lies.
I had to play it off of Frankenstein’s big fat foot!
Financial_Radish
I’m not in a tournament so I’m throwing it in the fairway and moving on with my life
Ballders
First thing I’m doing is clearing the obstruction by karate chopping the tree down. After that, ripping the roots out bare-handed (being careful not to disturb the ball, obviously).
Then just an easy-peasy wedge shot to the green.

As the pin is behind the tree, take an unplayable which gives you clear sight of the green and play it. If the ball was on either side and had some view where I can progress it with 75% certainty I’ll get a better lie I’d play it off the tree to give myself a shorter shot
colnross
These are the kind of shots that bring me back to the course… I’m turning my 7 iron upside down, hitting lefty, and saying “hey, watch this.” If it works out, it’s all we’re talking about after the round. If it doesn’t, who cares?

Penalty and moving on.

I’m taking a shot of Fireball, then taking a drop, then taking a wedge to miss the green, then another shot of Fireball.
