contained OB question

Scenario: Hole A has a small pond that is surrounded by an OB line; in the pond/over the line completely, you're OB with penalty.

You throw on Hole B (not A) and end up inside the OB of hole A... horrible shot obviously, but is the OB on Hole A only specific to shots thrown from the Tee of A, or is it considered 'full course' OB line?

If it was shanked that bad you deserve the penalty. I would play it as OB for the whole course.

I'd say the default answer would be...OB on one hole, OB for any hole

but a course pro, TD, or "local rules" could specify otherwise...

In the case of "contained OB" the assumption would be that it is OB for any hole. The tricky part is when you have an island hole such that the grassy fairway all the way to the island is called OB for that hole and it's next to another hole where its grassy fairway continues into the island hole fairway with no boundary or break. An example is hole 1 at the USDGC where its fairway blends right into the notorious hole 17 pine bale hole where the fairway is OB. If the fairway OB on the island hole isn't contained with a line of some sort separating fairways, it can't be OB if a shot from the nearby hole shanks into the island fairway.

PLEASE tell me this isn't about Hole 6 @ thorn... at least not due to a "it actually happened" scenario. Or, if it did, I need to know which hole was being played and who it was, so I can taunt them mercilessly about this :twisted:

It didn't actually go into the hot tub....

One might say it almost black aced too...

At least I saved the par.... :lol:

A picture might be available for proof. Check with Brian Carter for the pic.
