    Is there a way to get out of a 70% lie without losing a ball every time?  I got into the deep stuff on the third shot and then ended up losing 7 balls before reaching the maximum (10) hits. There should be a way to either forfeit the hole or pick up the ball, lose an extra stroke, and put the ball just past the weeds.  Any help or hints would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    This is going to depend on what is in front of you. If there is a rock or such directly in front of the ball, you will lose ball after ball if u try to hit thru or over it.

    If the fairway is near to you (under 30 yards) you will be able to reach it with your 64 degree wedge, just get to it as this is not the time to attempt heroics.

    If this means hitting backwards or sideways, doesnt matter, your only goal is to get to the short stuff and try save par and hopefully 6 balls :-)

    You can end a round at any time by clicking on menu, depending on what format you are playing there will be pick up ball/forfeit hole or end round which will stop the nightmare.

    Peace,

    If you can see absolutely no way out then just touch your ball with your putter until you max out, or just leave the game.
