Unplayable Ball Option?

  Would it be possible to give an unplayable ball option? There are times when you're in the weeds or deep fescue and it's impossible to move your ball more than a few feet.

  Of course it would, but I'm positive that it will not happen.

  It violates WGT's "no option to the players" doctrine which has only been broken by Mulligan and gimme.

  The word option to WGT is akin to the word condom to the Catholic church!

  (Everyone uses them, everyone has them but they're still not approved)

  I support the request but maybe not for the standard game but for the new Uneven Lie where you might end up with a shot you can not get out of, Been there twice so far and it does not matter what you try, there just is no way you can predict anything if you can not get the marker out of the red.

  Still loves the format though.
