Should we be expecting the many Kona golf courses to be drying out soon? I love the Texas bump and run shots on hard grounds and when drives run out as well too. Maybe no need for the lob wedge in kona anymore.
If you're sure the approach to the green is not on sacred grounds, then I see no problem using the bump and run shot. However, if you're uncertain, then a high approach shot using a wedge is probably the best option, as it avoids the ball annoying the spirits. However, if you top it or hit the ball fat, you may have to apologize to the deities while incurring a one-shot penalty. Hopefully, the scorecard includes the local rules and which sacred spots are marked hazards.
