  Hi All,

  Can anyone tell he whether this is possible ? When I was in the Pro rankings you certainly couldnt, just interested whether you can do it on the Master tier ??

  Yeh I know - get out and practice it !!

  Just wondering aloud :-)

  Punch it-no airtime but huge roll and no wind influence.

   punch it ... Jim's right, no air time, but it will roll out to about 185ish ... not much of a gain other than the low flight.

  When no one's looking stick a tee in the ground and tee the ball up.  I chuckle every time I find a tee left in the fairway at my home course...

  Actually DMM...  Tee's in the course mean that someone behind us has hit into our group more than once per round.

  The first time gets a pass...  everybody is allowed that one "OMG!  I whacked the HELL out of that one!!  Wow, I guess I better wait a bit longer today before I hit so I don't hit into the group ahead."

  The second time you hit into our group, I'm setting your ball on a tee for you to find it....

  The third time, I'm setting it on a tee and then sending it back to you...

  If there's a fourth time, not only am i sending it back to you, but we'll have to meet and discuss it in the parking lot.... 

  Usually, people get the hint on step two.  The smart ones.  Not always.

  Snaike... up here in the Pacific Northwest we just replace the ball with a pink one we carry in our bags, for just that purpose.  Or we take the ball and leave a small note that the Sasquatch "was here".

  On the other hand, I'm so long off the tee nobody ever drives into me.  ;)
