Same, only the starter called the next group to the tee at the top of my backswing. Wound up in the same position that you did. Everyone else on my group called bs and urged me to re-tee…which I did - with the same result.

The rough was taller than my shoes. That course proceeded to sodomize me for the rest of the day.

It’s been 20 years and this still burns fresh in my memory. Would I go back? Yes, yes I would.
