Rick M on a normal course where OB is defined by the perimeter of the course, or private property the “average” course only has 4 – 6 holes where OB is in play. The 9 stroke rule comes into play on all 18 holes. As you said, neither is intended for tournament play, but I agree the 9 stroke rule will come into play more often than the OB rule would so it SHOULD improve the pace of play.
More importantly I think a higher handicapper appreciates not having to finish a hole where they have completely blown up and can limit the damage to a 9.
