Salinda's opponent hit a ball that was going way past the green but hit a spectator and bounced back to a good lie.  If it turns out that that fat man was a Vandy fan . . .

Yesterday Salinda hit a delicate bunker shot that was going to be near perfect. But it bounced off a sprinkler head and ran 10 feet past the hole.

Last week in the epic deciding match vs. Duke, Virginia Elena Carta of Duke hit a shot that was headed for a hazard before it rebounded onto the fringe off a hazard stake.

All of these funny bounces, both favorable and unfavorable, are called the rub of the green.
