Rich:
You always were sort of a backward Indian but I admire your imagination and ingenuity for thinking to hit a ball out of iceplants in the opposite direction from the hole and expect it to pop out backwards!
Watch out who you're playing with when you do that though, as they might find a way to penalize you. I'd expect they'd use something like the wording in the exceptions found in some of the relief procedures;
".....use of an unnecessarily abnormal stance, swing or direction of play".
And of course if I was playing with you I'd expect them to penalize me too under Rule 30-3f for being "on or close to and extension of your line of play......"
