The luminous golf ball-shaped yellow flowers of Golf Beauty Craspedia you have admired for years in special fresh and dried floral arrangements are now available to add to your own gardens and containers. This sun loving annual, also known as Billy Buttons and Drumstick Flower, produces beautiful blooms all summer long. It is a perfect addition to cottage gardens and cutting, pollinator or butterfly gardens. Its flower heads are perfectly round and tower 24-30″ tall above attractive silver foliage. A prolific bloomer, it will continue to produce fresh flowers all season long, and is drought tolerant and heat tolerant.

One of the most unique par-3s in world golf is the 16th at Sentry World in Wisconsin, which tees between 97 and 176 yards and is surrounded by acres of kaleidoscopic flower beds, each planted with upwards of 50,000 individual varieties. The flower bed makes for a breathtaking spectacle, but it’s also a tricky place to find a lost ball.

According to the USGA’s Rules of Golf, if the ball is lost in a flower bed it should be treated as if it were lost in GUR, or, if the area is not clearly marked as GUR, as a water hazard. However, if a player can’t determine that an abnormal ground condition exists or if they cannot reasonably identify the location of the ball in the flora, then it should be played as it lies, and the player must re-tee.

While I understand the rationale behind this rule, it seems like a logical contradiction. Why spend so much time and money making something that is not intended to be played from, and then turn around and treat it as if it were an obstruction or GUR?
