No its only two shots if you did not gain sigmificant advantage.


I see, so if Tiger would've moved from behind a tree or something of that nature, then it would've been DQ?

You're speaking on two completely different situations and rules.

As close as possible has nothing to do with the length from original shot unless you take intent and effort into account. Guiding a ball away from a divot is the same as dropping it two feet behind your original spot.

the rule book does not give specific area for the drop like in the cart path situation.

anyone ever going to explain how intentionally avoiding a divot and thus not dropping in the nearest spot is not intentionally trying to gain an advantage?

Correct. But he couldn't even articulate the rules of a cart path drop correctly.

Stableford at BC.

And the "as close as possible" is there in the event that the golfer leaves the area and has to go back and replay the shot. Thus they should do their best to drop and play the shot from where they were previously.

obviously, and if you know exactly where it is, shouldn't you use that spot?

So if it was in a divot prior to the first shot, they should be penalized for guiding the ball away from the divot?

You aren't placing the ball...you're dropping it arm fully extended.

Putted terribly, left 4 birdies and 3-5 pars or bogeys out there because of my short game.
