    WGT should add an "unplayable lie" and a drop. It's ridiculous to land in 80% - 90% brush, 4 feet from the nearest area which has seen a mower in the last 2 weeks...and take 4 strokes with a wedge to get to that area! Let's get somewhat real.

    Three of them were the wrong strokes.

    The only lie I need is "no sweetheart, you're much prettier than your sister".

    That would be nice. Ironically, a couple of hours ago at Merion, after a nice 29 front, I was going good until I hit my drive on #16 into the 80-90 stuff. I would have taken the unplayable if I could have ( I've been there before ), instead, I did get my 'snowman'..;-}

    ^^^ Scrambling for relevance.

    Classy reply though...

    I agree Vic, in real golf you can take your stroke penalty and go all the way back to where you hit the shot, lost of stroke, loss of distance.  Here, I put a drive 20 yd. inside the fairway, the ball took a big left turn hop into the pond. The WGT drops the shot across the pond in among the cat tails, now I have a 50% shot over a pond to boot.......WGT should have an option to take the stroke and return to the previous shot marker.

    Now we'll hear from the trolls, see they don't play anymore, they have 2000-3000-4000 postings because they sit under the  WGT bridge, and slither out to make their BS comments....

    Well, Mr. Nicklaus, please explain the three "right" strokes!

    How could there be 3 right strokes, if its the right stroke you only need one.

    Thank's for playing though.

    The drop zones that WGTapply to any OOB or lost balls are not are not consistent with any golf course ive ever played.Drop zones are a point of relief in a straight line of the ball flight on the fairway,not in the sand or the rough or do WGT have thier own rules?
