I totally agree when your ball hits on the edge of a green or in the 1st cut and rolls off the 3rd cut or rough should stop the ball within a foot or two. It should not roll 30 feet into the bushes or water. This is just a ridiculous situation on all the village courses. It's made worse because every green in on the top of a hill. This too often leads to lost golf balls that should have come to rest in a playable position.
