Did this with driving range balls and a lob wedge. (A wedge that goes real short but super high - like to get over a tree that's close by.) The only way to hit it is to wait for the apex, and lead it about 5' underneath as it drops.
A 'hit' just moves the ball off course.
2, glad you saved the gumbo, and thanks for enlightening us about decorating baked goods with dolls of toddlers.
