  On the 2nd hole of the in the creek that crosses the fairway. The drop spot should be just behind the creek, not 200 yds back where the original shot was.

  I have noticed this on all water shots or lost balls and it needs to be fix to reflect an accurate drop spot before the main tourneyment.

  Agree.  You get no credit whatsoever if you bounce out of bounds.    IN addition if you hit the weeds, you can not get out.  You should have the option to drop.

  According to official rules... a 'lost ball' constitutes a penalty of stroke and distance so OB and lost in the crap, you take the shot over.  The creek on #2 is not considered a water hazard.  I've looked into this already.  If you go into the water on say... 17 you'll notice that you get 'dropped' at the nearest point of entry, which happens to be at the end of the tee block.
