Dangerous shot
« on: February 06, 2022, 07:14:19 AM »
After watching Jordan speith cliffhanger shot yesterday  I wondered:
Are there some other playable dangerous shots, in the direct line of play that you know of, or that you've played...


I said in the line of play because I guess if you go sideways on any cliffside course...


Playable because if speith had been in 6 inches high rough, he wouldn't have played it

While not a particularly good golf course, there's a place in Portland, CT called Quarry Ridge. It has a par 3 (maybe the 15th?) that is about 120 yards and uphill maybe 50 feet. Of course the green is completely blind. What one sees off the tee is a large hill, some of which is a sheer rock face. In other words, one is hitting a golf ball that has at least a small chance of being sent straight back if mishit. I am yet to experience or witness this, but then I don't play there often.
