Mr_Theoo Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure we've all had a lie like this were we just can't get done with the hole fast enough.

BIG STU Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 OH absolutely and I for one would have in my young and wild days tried to play it also. Combined with my temper at the time I would have probably 3 putted and made a 10 or 11. Trust me I have done that! He beat the living hell out of that wedge though! Back in the day I would rather have a root canal than take an unplayable lie. But to defer to Langer's side Lanny said during the broadcast that it sits up and you think you can hit it. Guarentee that Langer got educated on that like Lanny said he did.

Guarentee that Langer got educated on that like Lanny said he did. You live and learn Yep! A friend of mine went to take the Player Ability Test to turn pro. I went along to provide moral support and "acted" as his caddy. This PAT was in central Oregon... in the trees.... in the lava fields. Short par 4; dogleg right, he hits a cut and is in the trees. Lie is OK and he can punch it out to the fairway 75y to the green. That's what I tell him; he can still make par. Noooo, he says he can "make the shot" to the green. Hits a tree. Now he is in the really bad lava just like Langer was in, but there are lots of trees too. No where to go, can't take an unplayable. He kept hacking at it and took a 12, but he did one-putt!! He didn't pass, and I remind him of that every time I see him. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 If it can happen to Langer, it can happen to anyone. I tuned in later and heard them say that it was actually a 10. Is that true?

Aotearoa_Brad Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 oh dear - I have to admit that I've had my share of 9's over the years, but thus far none have involved a trip to the lava field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG STU Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Rev yep it is true it was a 10. He had a double hit on one of the shots that I did not see at the time. I only saw that when the GC played it and commented on it later after I posted.
