education rules with drew
Drought
SFPGA TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR ANDREW MILLER
This spring has been one of the driest on record for many years and you don’t have to be a weather man to know it to be true. Just take a ride around some of the golf courses in south Florida and you will quickly see the lake levels are at an all-time low. On one hand you’ve got the superintendents hoping, praying, wishing for rain and on the other you’ve got the golfer who is enjoying the hard, fast playing conditions a drought brings. In addition to a drought changing the playing conditions, I’ve witnessed on numerous occasions players taking advantage of Rule 26-2 which would not have been previously possible without Mother Nature’s help. So I’ve decided to devote this months’ segment entirely to explaining Rule 26-2. Before diving in to Rule 26-2, I think it’s important to mention Rule 13-4, Ball in a Hazard, Prohibited Actions. This rule tells us that before the player makes a stroke at a ball which is located in a hazard he cannot, “(a) test the condition of the hazard or any similar hazard, (b) touch the ground in the hazard or water in the water hazard with his hand or a club, or (c) touch or move any loose impediment lying in or touching the same hazard.” Like most rules of golf, Rule 13-4 has several Exceptions and a Note. The Exceptions are as follows: “(1) Provided nothing is done that constitutes testing the condition of the hazard or improves the lie of the ball, there is no penalty if the player (a) touches the ground or loose impediments in any hazard or water in a water hazard as a result of or to prevent falling, in removing an obstruction, in measuring or in marking the position of, retrieving, lifting, placing or replacing a ball under any Rule or (b) places his clubs in a hazard. (2) After making the stroke, if the ball is still in the hazard or has been lifted from the hazard and may be dropped or placed in the hazard, the player may smooth sand or soil in the hazard, provided nothing is done to breach Rule 13-2 with respect to his next stroke. If the ball is outside the hazard after the stroke, the player may smooth sand or soil in the hazard without restriction. (3) If the player makes a stroke from a hazard and the ball comes to rest in another hazard,
Rule 13-4a does not apply to any subsequent actions taken in the hazard from which the stroke was made.” The Note to Rule 13-4 says, “At any time, including at address or in the backward movement for the stroke, the player may touch, with a club or otherwise, any obstruction, any construction declared by the Committee to be an integral part of the course or any grass, bush, tree or other growing thing.” As you can see there is a lot that goes into Rule 13-4 and a player should have a working knowledge of this Rule before going down into a water hazard to play his ball. Ok, so your tee shot comes to rest in a dried up area of a lateral water hazard. You play your ball from the hazard further into the hazard to an area where it is clearly unplayable. What are your options? Your first of many would be to drop a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the ball was last played inside the hazard incurring a penalty of one stroke. Secondly, the player could drop a ball outside the hazard under penalty of one stroke using the spot where the ball last crossed the hazard margin as their reference point for taking relief under 26-1b or 26-1c. And finally, the player may under penalty of one stroke play a ball as nearly as possible from the spot which the last stroke from outside the water hazard was made. In this case, that would be the tee box. In all three options, the player would be playing his forth stroke. Now what would happen if the player dropped his ball in the hazard and it rolled into an unplayable situation? So you’ve drop your ball in the hazard only to watch it roll into the water or behind a rock making it impossible to play. What do you do now? Assuming a re-drop isn’t warranted under Rule 20-2c(vi) or 20-2c(vii), the player may drop a ball outside the hazard under Rule 26-1a, 26-1b or 26-1c incurring an additional penalty stroke. The player would be playing his fifth stroke because he has made two strokes, incurred a penalty for hitting his ball from the hazard further into the hazard and an additional penalty for dropping his ball in the hazard and not being able to play it. In this particular case, would the player who dropped his ball in the hazard only to watch it roll into a position from which it was unplayable be permitted to re-drop in the hazard? Well, I’m not sure why the player would want to take that risk but Rule 26-2a(i) requires the player to drop a ball outside the hazard when taking relief from this particular situation. It is important to note that a player may not deem his ball unplayable in a water hazard. He must proceed under 26-1. Now, what would your options be if instead of hitting your ball further into the hazard you actually hit your ball out of bounds? Your first option would be to drop your ball in the hazard from the spot which you just played from incurring a penalty of one stroke. You would be playing your forth shot. Your second and third options require you to add an additional penalty stroke. Those options are to proceed under Rule 26-1b or 26-1c, dropping a ball outside the hazard and using the point where the ball last crossed the hazard margin after a stroke from outside the hazard (the tee shot in this case) as your reference point for taking relief. You would be playing your fifth stroke. Unlike Rule 26-2a (ii) and (iii), Rule 26-2b (ii) and (iii) make you add an additional penalty to drop a ball outside the hazard. The reason for the difference is found in Rule 27-1b. 27-1b requires a player who has hit his ball out of
11
upcoming events bounds to drop his ball at the spot from where the original was played. In the examples given, the original spot is inside the hazard. So in order for the player to get outside the hazard, he has to give up another stroke. Parts of Rule 26-2 can be complicated and I hope I haven’t added any confusion to an already complex Rule through my examples. I know personally it took me several readings of the Rule before I was comfortable with it. For further clarification I would recommend reading Decisions 26-2/1 and 26-2/2. These two Decisions do an excellent job through diagrams of explaining the rule and relief options.
