    I have always been under the impression that your 'drop" would be on the fairway area. Since it's not, should my opponent have used a full shot with full b/s or maybe punched this shot? He eventually sunk to the bottom before getting the shot off and the game ended. I would have dove in and looked for him, but I can't swim.

    It show's the ball being on a tee...and that's how I would have played it...as a tee shot with a wedge from 35 yards out.

    I know I made a joke about it, but actually, the way it happened is the odd part. He hit 2nd shot in water, got the drop in fairway, then his timer ran out, got the warning, and when it showed him again, he was in the water. Kind of weird. The timer ran out again, and the game ended, and neither of us had a victory or loss show up. Guess it was just some glitch or something. Or, maybe when you get the 'warning' sign, it punishes you by making you hit from the water. I checked Pro Shop, and couldn't find any of those floating tees or balls. Maybe they're just not available to me, yet. Oh, and I signed up for swimming lessons, too. :)

    Wow. That's a shame. Too bad he didn't get the pontoon shoes that I used here to salvage par.

    Wow, 40/50 lie while floating on the water. I guess WGT must be into hydroponics as well.

    My ball was safe, but I was walking on water.
