The Most Challenging Golf Hazard

January 4, 2022 / The Grateful Golfer / 8 Comments

A regular reader from Florida, Kevin, sent me these two pictures. He played through this hazard a few days ago. I am not even sure how to advise him on how to play in or near this treacherous stretch of course. I guess the best thing is to just avoid it!

Kevin mention that this hazard was about 8 feet long. Personally, avoidance is the only answer and of course free relief! Thoughts on how to play this hazard?

Thanks Kevin for the pictures. I am grateful you sent them my way.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

This little friend watched me hit the ball close to the pin on number 11 from 150 yards. He had a couple of friends with him and I just had to share their majestic beauty.
