Sam and Harry are playing one day. On the first hole, Sam hits a wicked slice into the adjoining fairway. The ball hits another player right between the eyes and he drops to the ground.
Sam and Harry rush over to the prostrate man and find him unconscious with the ball laying on the ground between his legs.
Sam screams, "Oh my God, what should I do?"
Harry replies; "Don't move him. If you leave him there he becomes an immovable obstruction and, according to the rules, you are allowed a drop two club-lengths away."
Golf Course
The Moscow City GolfClub – is is charge of the first Russian golf-course. The course was created by its founder and Honorary Club President - Sven Tumba, the well-known Swedish sportsmen, the former ice-hockey World champion. The golf-architect managed to design a real golf-course on a reserved space among a some-time deserted wastelands in the flood-lands of the river Setun', the tributary of the Moscow river.
Six of the nine holes are par-4 and three holes are par-3. The total playing distance is 2.343 metres. Though the length of the course is moderate, the course is not easy for playing. The narrow fairways and the greens limited in size requires presize shots. There are 23 bunkers on the course (fairway and green-side ones). Front and lateral water hazards makes the game even more chalenging at times.
If the pace of the play and the mood of the player makes it possible, one can enjoy the scenery in the neighbourhood with modern-built memorials of the World War II Victory Park and the ancient building of the well-known cathedral in Troitse-Golenistchevo.
