    Driving the green or landing on the fairway counts as hitting the fairway with your drive.

    Landing on the fringe does NOT count as hitting the fairway!

    Not a big deal but I thought you would like to know.

    Great Game

     

    Thanks

    That is because technically the fringe is not part of either the green or fairway but part of the rough.And I believe if you check you might find that landing on the green on a par 4 doesn't count toward your landing on the fairway either. (Edit) I just played St. Andrews front side and drove # 9 and no landing on the green on a par 4 does not register as landing in the fairway.

    In the same round (for me) landing on the fringe on St.Andrews #9 did not count as a fairway.  Landing on the green on #10 did count as hitting the fairway.  The fringe is the rough?....well OK

    Next time I drive a par 4 green I'll post the result here.

     

    Thanks for the reply
