Members often deliberately play adjacent fairways on TOC.

Conwy 9th is a 540-yard dog-leg par five which is greatly shortened by driving down the 8th fairway. Unfortunately for members' golf an internal OOB is imposed.

Actually Mark, I think EVERYBODY plays into adjacent fairways on the Old Course. My favorite is the second on 14 out into the 5th. It's actually a favorable angle from there.

That's the only way to play that hole, good angle to the green.

On the 3rd hole at UofM many longer hitters will hit it down #4 fairway to greatly reduce the yardage into the green. A better angle and stance is gained. I believe during college tourneys they make it OB. I'll have to get some photos. #3 is prob my all time favorite par 5 that I've played.

Unless you can play like the pros I saw at the 2005 Open and just blow mid irons up to the green, even with the tee on the Eden course.

In 1953 at the Open at Carnoustie, Hogan hit his tee shots from the 4th onto the 15th to get a better angle to the green.
