    Ok, someone explain this one! RG,STA #1, 2nd shot, pin bottom right, 31mph headwind @1&7, 107 yds out. Ball hits & sticks 2yds above creek "green side". Alright, you got the picture?

    So now tell me why the 'tourney director' says ball in/with/on? immovable object free drop? Ok I don't see IO but "free drop" no biggy right. Now the surprise, ball dropped (not by me,  should have been 2-stoke penalty) on the fairway side of the creek, lying "3" hitting "4" (PAR)?............What happen to the FREE drop? WT&^&*( I know the rule for free drop, no penalty incurs,2-club lgths, no closer to the hole, blah,blah,blah)

    Moral of story; just goes to show NOTHING/SOMETHING/ANYTHING/NADA/NO BUENO is "FREE"!...Well maybe air!
