An example:
A while back I was playing a massively long par 3. I hit a huge flare to the right and ended up 25 yards short of the green with a huge evergreen tree blocking me.
I delofted a 4-iron by about 15 degrees, then smashed a chip. It went underneath the low-hanging limbs (which were a foot off the ground), ran up through the heavy grass, and settled about 10 feet away on the fringe.
I missed the putt and made bogey, but what the hell? Sure, I brought quad into the equation, but I also got myself a shot at a par on a damned hard hole in a round that meant nothing.
