Rick the new OB rule presents a problem if a player hooks or slices the ball right off the tee. Dropping somewhere 100 – 150 yards off the tee is a problems that a 2nd (3rd) shot off the tee can cure if the player is normally 250 yards off the tee.

I was with a friend who hit it OB and his drop area would have left him directly behind a large group of trees. Again hitting a 2nd (3rd) shot off the tee put him on the other side of the fairway, no tree trouble
