So here is the hypothetical.
Downhill hole, 250 feet with a creek 10 feet behind the basket. In the creek is OB. Drop Zone is 80 feet away from the basket.
You tee off and maybe put it in the creek. You throw a provisional which ends up in bounds but horrible in the woods. Can you elect to ignore the provisional and take your first shot, which means you go to the drop zone?
Basically the provisional is like an ace run. If you get it you get a circle 3. If you don't and it sucks, just go the drop zone and try for a circle 3 but likely get a circle 4.
Is this a loop hole in the rules?
