It is not as important that you hit down the middle as it is that both people in the cart hit in generally the same spot. You don't want a hooker and a slicer in the same cart. We also don't waste much time looking for balls that are off the fairway unless we are already backed up. When they clear it is "drop a ball and hit it" time. |

You're not playing in a league. A league of my own ;-) I also have no problem "improving my lie", teeing one up in the fairway or simply skipping putting out a hole if I am just going too slow that day. Sometimes I get back on track on the next tee. |
