Golf Rules

Last Month’s QuestionMay a player may probe in a bunker without penalty to determine if tree roots, rocks or obstructions might interfere with their stroke?

Answer –

Yes, a player may probe anywhere on the course (including in a bunker) without penalty to determine if tree roots, rocks or obstructions might interfere with their stroke, as long as the player does not improve the conditions affecting the stroke.

For example, when a player’s ball comes to rest near a drain in a bunker, the player may use a tee to probe the sand to determine the extent of the drain and whether it will interfere with their stroke. However, if the purpose of the probing is to test the condition of the sand, the player is penalized.

This Month’s Question –

In Four Ball, If a player stands on or close to an extension of the line of play behind their partner to align for their (the partner’s) next stroke, and while doing so also happened to see how their (the player’s) next stroke might break, is there a penalty?
