I really had to laugh when I read this in the Times article about the Malaysian Open. Sure is a strange game isn't it:
"Thomas Björn, meanwhile, had the most entertaining finish of the day. With his second shot ending (who knows how?) in a teacup inside a hospitality marquee behind the green, he was allowed a free drop, put his third shot on to the green and rolled in the putt for a birdie four."
In one of my club tournaments, the club house is behind the 18th hole (well past, as there at least 25 feet of grass beyond the green), then the sidewalk that cuts between, and some shrubs bordering below the picture windows of the clubhouse.....I could never have figured that hitting into those shrubs would a 'free drop'. I couldn't believe hitting into the shubs against the clubhouse, just below the windows, ends up as a free drop for a competitor playing in our group.
I was playing with some friends at the Regatta in Destin one day. Coming in on 18 there is water in front of the green and he was in the trap short in 3. He bladed a shot and hit the clubhouse second floor which was 40 yds away and came to rest on the walkway up there. he rehit but i told him there were no stakes and he should have played it from the walk way. The asst pro came out of the clubhouse and threw the ball back.........
This brings whole new meaning to putting your ball in the drink.
The first stroke was his tee shot. The second was his tea shot.
One time a girl in the group I was playing with hit her ball right up next to a medium-sized alligator. We weren't sure what the rules were regarding THAT, but we let her take a free drop from a safe distance away.

I like your sense of humor Paka! Personally though, I'd never get close enough to a gator to read the size tag!
