Your position is well noted

I personally like the definition of a hawk being a situation where you hit a shot too precise for your own good

Examples:

Charles Howell at the Buick
Tiger at the Masters a couple of years ago

Both of these were situations where the ball hit the flagstick and went into the water or other hazard

Example use:

"he hawked it off the flagstick and took dub"
