    Hit my second shot next to bunker on par 5  # 6 at Congressional with water in front. Playing a par 5 game w  30 sec timer.  Third shot rolled on green to stop on or next to the rock wall greenside of water, said "immovable obstruction free drop" next thing i am hitting from the same spot by the bunker and HITTING 4.  What kind of free drop is that?  Free? ended up with a stroke penalty. i would have hit it off the wall instead,  was only about 8 feet from pin. Doesn't WGT know rules of golf? Could have dropped me club length further from cup on grass, fix this WGT

    That's one of a few mistakes the game makes about golf rules. Looking from the sunny side, they hit all players equally.

    It's a seasoned flaw, not gonna change!
