THE 18 MOST MISUNDERSTOOD RULES OF GOLF

1. Red Lateral Hazard
Option 1 – Play it from the hazard
Option 2 – Replay the shot from the original position incurring a stroke and
distance penalty
Option 3 – Draw a line from the hole to where the ball last crossed the margin of
the hazard and drop anywhere behind that point keeping the point between you
and the hole incurring a 1 shot penalty.
Option 4 – go to the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard and
drop within 2 club lengths, no nearer the hole, on either side of the hazard
incurring a 1 shot penalty.

2. Yellow Water Hazard
Option 1 – Play it from the hazard
Option 2 – Replay the shot from the original position incurring a stroke and
distance penalty
Option 3 – Draw a line from the hole to where the ball last crossed the margin of
the hazard and drop anywhere behind that point keeping the point between you
and the hole. You would incur a 1 shot penalty

3. Lost Ball or Out-of-Bounds
After looking for a maximum of 5 minutes, you must go back to where the shot
was originally played from, and replay, incurring a stroke and distance penalty.

4. Unplayable Lie
Option 1 – Take 2 club lengths relief no closer to the hole and assess a 1 stroke
penalty
Option 2 – Replay the shot from the original position incurring a stroke and
distance penalty
Option 3 – Take the ball back as far as you want keeping the point where the ball
lays between you and the hole incurring a 1 shot penalty

5. Improving Your Swing Path
You cannot bend, break or hack anything growing or fixed if it improves you lie,
your stance, or your area of intended swing.
The penalty for doing so is loss of hole in match play, or a 2 shot penalty in stroke
play.

6. Unplayable Lie in a Bunker
Option 1 – Take a drop of no more than 2 club lengths no closer to the hole, but
still in the bunker incurring a 1 shot penalty
Option 2 – Replay the shot from the original position incurring a stroke and
distance penalty
Option 3 – Go back as far as you like in the bunker and drop keeping that spot
where your ball laid between you and the hole. This incurs a 1 shot penalty 7. Removing Objects in a Bunker
You may not move or remove any loose impediments in the bunker unless they
are foreign to the area. Example – you may remove a candy wrapper but not a
pine cone or tree branch

8. Number of Allowed Clubs
You are only allowed to carry 14 clubs in your bag. The penalty for carrying
more than 14 clubs:
Match Play – Loss of hole – maximum of 2 holes
Stroke Play – 2 strokes per hole up to a maximum of 2 holes or 4 shots

9. Casual Water
Find your nearest point of relief no closer to the hole where neither you or your
ball lie in water that can be seen without pressing your feet up and down. You
may then drop your ball within 1 club length from that point no nearer to the hole
at no penalty

10. Grounding Your Club in a Hazard
Practice swings may be taken inside a hazard as long as you don’t touch the
ground, sand or water with your club. The top of the grass may be touched during
a practice swing. The penalty for grounding your club is loss of the hole in match
play or a 2 shot penalty in stroke play.

11. Accidentally Moving Your Ball
There is a 1 stroke penalty for accidentally moving your ball and it must be
replaced in its original position before hitting. There is another 1 stroke penalty
for hitting the ball from the wrong place if it is not replaced. There is no penalty
for accidentally moving the ball when on the tee.

12. Removing Loose Impediments
If, in moving loose impediments, you accidently move your ball, you must return
the ball to its original position and penalize yourself one stroke

13. Asking for Advice
It’s against the rules of golf to ask an opponent what club they have hit. The
penalty for this breech is loss of hole in match play, or a 2 shot penalty in stroke
play.

14. Ball on a Cart Path
You are entitled to free relief.
Step 1 – Determine the “nearest point of relief”. This is the point where the ball
would lay affording the player both swing and stance from the cart path.
Step 2 – you are entitled to 1 club length relief from the point where the ball
would lie once full relief is taken.
Step 3 – After dropping, the ball may roll up to 2 club lengths no closer to the
hole. 15. Changing Club Characteristics
Clubs may not be altered in any way once play has begun. If a club is altered
during the normal course of play, such as bending it after hitting a tree while
attempting to hit the ball, the club may be taken to the shop for immediate repair
and a replacement club may be used until the original club is repaired.
If the club is modified outside the normal course of play, such as breaking or
bending it in a fit of anger, it must be taken out of play for the remainder of the
match. Should it be used again the penalty is disqualification, whether match or
stroke play.

16. How to Drop the Ball
After determining the nearest point of relief, you may stand outside the drop area,
no closer to the hole, and extend your hand to the side dropping the ball from
shoulder height. The ball may roll up to 2 club lengths no closer to the hole. If
the ball rolls farther than that you must re-drop. If after dropping 2 times the ball
continues to roll past 2 club lengths, you must place the ball where it first touched
the ground.

17. Repairing the Line of your Putt
You may repair any ball marks in your line and removed any pebbles or foreign
objects in your line, provided you do it with your hand or club. You may not fix
spike marks or fan the ground with a towel or cap to remove sand or foreign
objects. The penalty for doing so is loss of hole in match play or a 2 shot penalty
in stroke play.

18. Hitting the Wrong Ball
The penalty for hitting the wrong ball in match play is loss of hole. If both
players hit the wrong ball, only the first player to do so would be penalized as that
would be the end of the hole.
The penalty for hitting the wrong ball in stroke play for either player is 2 strokes
and the original ball must be replayed from its original position.
