You can always take stroke and distance? Stolen from twitter

Is this correct?
So basically if I’m chipping for birdie, and I skull it across the green into the woods or a bunker, I could take a stroke, and hit the same chip I just hit again for bogey?

It has to be in bounds, but hell I should be using this rule on occasion.

Yes.

That’s what I was thinking, there’s definitely times I should do this, although I feel like my friends would object to it if I tried

Why does it have to be inbounds? Unless I am confused, wouldn't the result be the same regardless if the ball was out of bounds or inbounds? If the ball is skulled out of bounds, you don't really have a choice, you have to take stroke and distance. If the ball is inbounds, you have the option. Let's say the chip shot was shot #3. You can play shot #5 from the same spot or shot #4 from wherever shot #3 ended up.

Correct. We all know that second golfer is tour level so I need to definitely start doing this more often

I’m also surprised how many people didn’t already know you can always take stroke and distance. Maybe it shows how shite I am that I already knew this

Yes, because all options provide for stroke and distance.
OB - Stroke and distance
Hazard - One option is to play from the prior spot
Unplayable - Can declare any shot not in a hazard or OB as unplayable, which has playing from the prior spot as an option

My bad. I was thinking about the OB 2 stroke to fairway local rule, for some reason.
I've done the walk/drive of shame many times back to my previous spot for OB when playing for dollar bills.

Of course it's correct. It's a damn USGA video.

Saw this on TikTok the other day. Actually had never thought about this.
I'm assuming that you are allowed to go back to the closest spot you can get to where you originally putted from. Would be hard to hit a putt and think right away that "O I need to mark this before i go look at my ball because I might take a drop on the green."

If I have ever putted off a green, I do not remember it. OTOH, there's probably been many a skulled pitch I should have played over after hitting it t the short side with a steep green running away.

Not if Model Local Rule E-5 is in play, Alternative to Stroke and Distance

Why on earth would you elect to do this in the situation we are talking about?
Posted on 5/10/25 at 1:17 am to hehateme2285
So even if the ball is in play, you can take stroke and distance?
Posted on 5/10/25 at 4:06 am to Tiger1242
I wasn’t speaking on the original hypothetical situation, more replying to the general sentiment of ‘your ONLY option if you hit it out of bounds is stroke and distance.’ Emphasis on the “only.”
I don’t know, hypothetically, maybe that original chip for birdie is over a small water hazard, and the player has the yips when it comes to short pitches over water to a short sided pin. And their match play opponent is a foot from the hole lying 9. Maybe they use E-5 as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and get a better angle not chipping over a water hazard.
