  I had always thought that anything off of the small map was out of bounds. Then I seen this drive stay in play today. Congressional btw.

  OB is where it is on the actual course; OB may coincide with the hole map's edge, but it can also be somewhere 'off the map' (as indicated in your pic) ... or for other holes/courses the OB line may be well inside of the edge of the hole map. 

  A good example is St Andy's Road Hole (#17). On your approach shot, if it lands a bit long and left of the infamous green-side bunker, will find OB well before it goes 'off-map!

  You've been warned, lol.

  its not where you probably expect it to be, it has nothing to do with hole map on the right side of your screen

  I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.
