We got some pretty good rain last week. I didn't think about what it would do to the rough at TP. It was pretty thick.
There was a sign on the cash register:
Local Rule
If you do not find your ball within one minute, you may drop where you think your ball is lost with no penalty.
That's not golf?!?!
I understand that it's for pace of play, but I don't like it when a course tries to change the rules of golf. The rules of golf say three minutes, and then stroke and distance. There is a legitimate local rule that our club uses where you can take two strokes and drop where you lost the ball. That rule is not recommended for high level tournament play. I suspect it will not be in play when I play the Tournament of Club Champions in Indio next month.
I only lost one ball, and it was in a canyon that would have been lost even under "normal" playing conditions.
