Rules of Golf Explained (2023): Ball Lost or Out of Bounds and Provisional Ball

[cloudisunset]

Thanks for not explaining how many strokes you are penalized for each situation

Out of bounds rule and all penalty strokes need to be simplified

*playing golf and has rules question* "Hey, I wonder what the official rule on this is?" "Check the offical USGA youtube channel!" *checks* "Hey there are convenient short videos on my exact question!" *watches video* "So what does the USGA say about it?" "I literally have no idea"

I have so many remaining questions after watching these videos... So how many penalty strokes is each situation? I'm so confused

JUNE 13
When the ball is close to the 0B line defined by stakes you can't determine in or out from the balll. Go beyond one of the stakes and look down the line to the other stake. It will allow you to see the ball in or out.

My buddies get crazy when I tell them they can't drop and say "hitting three" from where it went into the woods. The local rule is lying three hitting four.

But what if i lose a ball that is in bound ie. Just cant find it like the ground has swallowed it up ?

[nrwilson]

So if I hit a ball, say 200+ yards, that I know is nowhere near out of bounds, but the ball can't be found, I would have to go back and rehit from where I originally made the stroke, 200+ yards back? That can really mess up pace of play. Aren't we allowed, as non pro's, and not being in a tournament, to take the distance and drop where we think the ball was lost, and take just a one stroke penalty instead?

What a phenomenally poor job of teaching this is. You couldn't get less instructive if you built a team of people to poorly explain something.

[ApolloNeilMedado]

How about a ball going to the wrong fairway and after 3 minutes you can’t find it. So you drop another ball. After holing out that hole the player from that other fairway returned your ball and admitted that he had mistakenly hit your ball. Are you still penalized?

[golfcoursereviewsTV]

Stroke and distance means you are hitting your 3rd shot from the tee. I believe in non-competition you can now drop near the OB/point of entrance and call that lying 4 now. I thought they instituted that for faster pace of play for the avg weekend golfer but they don’t mention that here so *shrug*

[SpeedzyWGJK]

If your ball turns out to be an inch out of bounds… walk back to the tee and slow down play as much as possible 👍

[SpeedzyWGJK]

“Stroke and distance” please come up with a better phrase to describe your outdated rules.

WTF whats the penalty stroke, should have said that too

[notgayming]

Need more black actors for me to understand
