Know the Rules What’s it all about? Rule 3-3 comes in handy in stroke play when you come across a situation where you aren’t sure what you’re supposed to do and there is no rules official immediately available to help. How does it work? After you assess the situation and you aren’t sure what to do, but before taking any further action, tell your fellow competitor you wish to play two balls under Rule 3-3. Tell him or her which ball you prefer to count if the Rules permit. Then, play both golf balls until they are holed. Afterwards, you must report the facts of the situation to the Committee before returning your scorecard and the Committee will make a ruling on your situation. Failure to do this results in disqualification. You MUST report the facts of the situation even fi you get the same score with both balls. Rule 3-3 In Action: Elise’s ball lands in a near a fence. She isn’t sure whether or not the fence is considered an immovable obstruction, since it may or may not define out of bounds. Elise tells her fellow competitor that she wishes to play two balls under Does this fence Rule 3-3. The original ball will be define out of bounds? Or is it an immovable obstruction? played as it lies. The second ball Since I don’t know, I will use will be dropped in the correct Rule 3-3. place to take relief from an immovable obstruction (Rule 24-2). Elise finds her nearest point of relief from the fence and drops the ball within one-club length of that point, but take the nearest point of relief from the fence, no closer to the hole. She tells her fellow competitor she wishes to use the second ball for her score if the Rules permit. She then completes the hole with both golf balls. After she completes play and before turning in her scorecard, Elise reports the facts of the situation to the Committee. where she finds that the fence did not indicate out of bounds and the ball she chose (the second ball) will count for her score. Had the fence indicated out of bounds, Elise’s original ball would have counted for her score. Why is Rule 3-3 Important? Rule 3-3 allows competitor’s in stroke play to continue a round, with minimal impact on pace of play, when doubtful situations arise and no rules official is immediately available. By using Rule 3-3 and playing two golf balls, players may also protect themselves from disqualification in a tournament.
