Not sure if this has been posted before, but it popped up on my Instagram and personally attacked my golf game. I may not have made this, but I’ve definitely made this decision way too many times and then blamed the result on narrow fairways😄

I play the game specifically to hit these shots
I have made it through a few times but never where I was aiming.
– 35% chance I hit a tree and it lands somewhere out of bounds
– 30% chance of chunking it and it rolls 10 feet ahead me into the bottom of a tree.
– 25% chance I hit a tree and the ball flys back and hits me.
– 7% chance it hits a tree and lands behind me somewhere on the fairway.
– 3% chance of making it through the trees and landing in the rough on the other side of the fairway.
I like them odds. We’re going for it. Get my club.
Funny thing is. He ended up making birdie on this hole.
You can bust Phil for a lot of dumb decisions, but on this hole and this shot.
He pulled it off
Surely only 1 in 20 of you would even consider punching out sideways.
I would walk up to this, pull out my 1 iron, consider whether to hit a full swing low cut between second and third trees in front of me or hit a full swing draw around the first. Probably the draw.
The odds are I make the shot, hit it along the ground out into the fairway or catch one of those trees and rebound out or in. No matter what, I reckon I’m a 80% chance to be better off then a weak ass punch that I’m just as likely to stuff up.
