I have played a water ball on the first hole a few times. There is a creek right in front of the tee box that I've been know to blast my drives into and it sucks when it's a new ball. Sometimes I'll play one on the 9th, not so much a water ball but a combination of a water ball and don't play a yellow ball. If I drive it to the right then the yellow ball gets lost/hard to find in the other range balls that have made it out on the course. Then the approach is over water, even though I've put a lot of balls in the pond I don't worry about it too much since I've usually gotten 7 to 8 good holes out of it anyway.

I laugh at this because it's soo true.... The 2 guys I played with yesterday both hit their tee shots into the creek. Then on the 9th, yup, that was me hitting a fat 9'iron into the pond. Damn Painted Hills. They moved the 9 green back to it's normal spot. FYI. I did have my first back to back to back par holes ever. 6,7,8 then bogey 9. Would have par'd except that water ball.
