Of course trees are likely more of a penal culprit because they reduce one extra option more than bunkers do, the bomb and gouge. I get your point though, many folks on here give trees a pass and hammer away at bunkers. Rolling Green certainly has (had?) its fair share of tree shit, but at what width of fairway are trees not considered penal? I know that s sort of like at what distance is a cross hazard not considered penal?
