At a major golf tournament, a player's ball is in the rough. He has a clear view of the pin on the green, but he does not play his shot towards the green. He opts to chip out on to the fairway instead. Why? | ||

Is chipping onto the fairway advantageous to him? Would he rather play a shot towards the pin? Is he prevented in some way from playing toward the pin? | ||

Hadn't figured out how to do colours, until you mentioned it just now. Either way, I'm sure you'll agree with me these methods help us keep things clear. Anyway... Would the shot be considered legal within the usual rules of the game? Is this an adult game of golf, like Tiger Woods plays? Or a crazy-golf type game, involving ramps & tunnels, like I play  ? | ||

Is there any intervening hazard (water, trees, bunkers)? He has a clear view of the green; does he have a clear shot? Is he carrying the proper club that he would need to attack the green? Is he in a situation where he only needs to achieve a certain score, so he decides to play it safe (i.e. tied with another player at end of regulation, and his opponent already took several shots or a penalty on the hole?) Other conditions relevant (wind, green speed, etc.)? Is he concerned with something other than this hole's score? Statistics, records, etc. (say, making greens in regulation and its a par 5)? Speaking of which, is par relevant at all? 3? 4? 5? | ||

Has lightning caused the the green to be more accessible to him than it was for his opponent? And he feels that as this was an act of god it would be more sporting to play a shot similar to his opponent? Close enough. Well done. He had gone out in the final group the day before and his ball had lodged in the rough behind a large tree. He was about to play out onto the fairway when the hooter sounded to end play because of a thunderstorm which was just starting. He marked his ball position. The next day he returned to find that the tree had been struck by lightning and he now had a clear view of the green. Since all the other players had played the course with that tree in place he decided to play the shot he had previously chosen in the interests of good sportsmanship. | ||
