Change of Fixture on Saturday 14th December 24 

Rules Aid 2b

Further to my last publication, there is a 4th option for a ball in a bunker which you consider to be unplayable.

This option is available to you if you cannot take Back in Line, or 2 Clubs inside the bunker.

For 2 penalty strokes you can opt to drop Back in Line outside the bunker.

But also remember for 1 penalty stroke you can choose to play Again from where the last shot was played from.

Rules Aid No 2

As the player, you can decide if your ball is unplayable (except when it is in a Penalty Area).  But you have to find the ball first.

There are 3 one stroke penalty relief options.  Best way to remember them is ABC.

A = Play the ball AGAIN from the spot where you last played from;  OR

B = BACK in LINE.  Drop the ball on a line with the flag, keeping the spot where the unplayable ball was, the new position and the flag all in a line.  You can go back as far as you like.

C = Measure 2 CLUBS to the side of the unplayable ball and drop the ball in that area no nearer the flag.

Have fun.

Kind regards
