Yes, but don’t know why you’d intentionally hit it in or rather just try your best to get it across no matter where you’re hitting your second from, and if not, you take your medicine and go drop on the other side.
Oh, so he hit driver into the ditch, dropped on the other side, and hit on in three. That’s a little scummy, but if you can get your driver to the ditch, you have plenty of distance to get on in two, it’s just an intimidating uphill, blind shot across the “great hazard.”
I think that’s technically following the rules (not sure if that local rule is on the scorecard or just posted on the course or if it specifies on which shot), but in either case seems scummy and not The TC Way because there’s no way you’re carrying Driver over the ravine off the box.
He must be play DN way too much to think you’re getting relief from an old hole with a couple little guys. Had one once at Stevens that upon grounding the club erupted, would’ve had them all over me. THAT sounds more like necessary relief.
Boy, am I not a fan of courses that don’t let you book a solo outing online. I can go to Kissing Tree or Vaaler or Lighthouse and they will happily take my money and put me in a blank spot on their spreadsheet. But if I want to try to get a single time at Plum Creek, I’ve got show up in person, hat in hand, and hope they have something available. It sucks, because Plum Creek is so close.
