2/9/2019 - The Crossings at Carlsbad

I did an on-course lesson at the Crossings today, and on the first par 3, my tee shot hit the cart path and bounced up the hill, way left.  It was in a thin strip of gravel between the cart path and the OOB fence.  I get free relief from the cart path (but not the OOB fence).  We determined that my nearest point of relief would be way back in the fairway (see image, near the shadows of the trees).

You can't tell from the overhead shot, but it's a steep hill up to the next tee.  It looks like taking relief on the next tee would have been an option, but it didn't even occur to us because it wasn't really in sight.

Can't post a score from a lesson round anyway....
