"After Jim Furyk went over his options with a rules official several times on the 7th fairway at Carnoustie during the British Open, this was his best bet. You can't see it, but there is actually a large bush to my immediate left that he had to clear in order to reach the green.
All the fans were craning over that fence to get a close look at the shot. That's one of the great things about golf: If a pro hits off the fairway and you are nearby, you can get really, really close to the action. You'll hear the caddie talk to the player and see the club selection, and a divot might even splatter your cardigan! Try to get that close at an NFL game!"
