| 2009-06-08 | Ned | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Many thanks for the prompt answer and for actually citing some authority for your response. That is most helpful. I'm surprised that this issue has not made it into the DRG's. It must come up with some regularity. I wonder how the top level pros play it or if they even run across it on the velvet courses that they play. I tend to think you're right, when you get right down to it, it's simply dirt, that's through the green, without grass growing on it. Play it as it lies. Thanks again for offering your professional assistance to help us wannabe's learn more. |
