First tee anxiety

It was time for Rock to tee off in the final round of the Masters, but the tee box was unfamiliar to him and his playing partner. Someone had put living room furniture on it. Chairs, a couch, an ottoman, and a coffee table were packed just behind the markers, making unimpeded full swings impossible.
A marshal suggested an option to Rock and his partner.
"You can take a drop in the drop area," he said. "It will cost you two strokes, but the next two holes are a short par-three and a short par-five. Most players birdie them both. Almost everyone has just taken a drop."
As Rock weighed the choices, he realized he had seventeen clubs in his bag. Somehow he managed to pull three out and toss them in his trunk without anyone noticing.
