There are several rules that you can choose to invoke on a "presumably" lost ball. Rule M.41.7 states that if during your 3 minute search, you can drop an identical ball from your pocket without being seen, and shout: "here it is", , you can continue your round and more importantly, avoid a costly penalty stroke. However, before you begin your search, your partner can invoke the "frisk" rule to insure there are no extra balls in your pockets.

There are also mystery rules as yet unexplained - as follows
1. If you play a brand new ball, it will get lost immediately- an old ball, however will last all summer
2. If you play the harder holes well, you will definitely mess up the easier ones
3. If your partner gimmes you a put and you take it anyway - you will miss that put

In our game, rules are more like guidelines.

Great video to watch as a beginner the rules can be quite daunting at times! Thanks

1. Don’t talk during someone’s shot.

2. Watch your shadow, do not have your shadow visible to the shooter during their shot.

3. Take the shortest path through the sand and rake up afterwards, put the rake where you found it.

4. Do not walk on the green unless to get to your ball and NEVER walk in front of someone else path on the green.

5. Be someone that others want to play with. Try not to take any handouts, but offer them to your mates(not in a competition obviously). How quickly and how often your mates are willing to advance their game through handouts without offering will tell you a lot about them and if you should continue golfing with them.

6. Wait 10 seconds after someone’s shot to start sh*t talking. (If your with your mates in a light hearted way). Let their emotions settle after a bad shot and you’ll see less silver pheasants(flying golf clubs).

7. Have fun and don’t be a total d*ck.

2 words: winter rules.
I'm not hitting off bare ground when I have hit a drive in the fairway. In the summer, maybe.
Edit: I loved when the Rules Czar, Jez, eyeballs it. "Without measuring it out I'll take my drop here." Made my day.

Great video. Love the way you break it down to its simplest form. Thank you.

[royshideler]

Excellent display of the 7 most important rules. Being quite new at this sport I was riveted to my Tele as you explained in perfect detail. Thank you for this important aspect. I was curious about the 3 minute rule as well and I can now search for my balls with a clear head without the anxiety that accompanied my search before.

Enjoyed the video but thought you should have explained what the penalty was in each situation e.g. if the ball moved when removing a loose impediment what is the penalty and should you replace the ball or play it as it lies?

[orthodocsurgeon]

Thank you, Superb Information for the Beginners in simple Language

[winsyong]

Most important rule is 1.2a Conduct expected of all players.

[kmwrites]

enjoy you two. thanks for these rule clarifications. to keep the game moving, if I lose a ball and didn't do a provisional, can I drop where the ball supposedly was lost and drop as long as I don't go closer, and add a stroke?

good vid this. Had a debate with a fellow golfer about the tee box - i rocked up to the tee, didn't like the lay or condition of the area right by the marker, went back about 2/3 foot and played. Partner said, "that's not right, don't do that in competition" - great to see this rule is to actually legit!

[Eddie]

Enjoyed the video. I did have one quick question. For the “Lost Ball” rule, this video assumes the ball was not lost due to a water hazard, correct? If a tee shot is lost to a marked water hazard, the player would not have to retee; rather, they would be entitled to drop at the point the ball crossed the hazard if marked with red stakes or a lateral drop if marked with yellow stakes. Thanks!

[felixrodrigues]

thanks for the information, learned a lot for of info about the rules of golf

[willd.]

most important rule.... have fun! no one wants to play with someone that has a shitty attitude dont be that guy

[AH-lepy]

9 have L4 L5, C2 through C7 fusion. Can I golf or just use the green for golf game. I am a brand new golfer.

[davechavezjr]

Great information guys! Rules that must be followed certainly in tournament play. Casual play guys take all sorts of improper liberties to create inaccurate handicaps. 🤨

[CareyBolam]

These rules are fine for tournament golf but I don't want to see people who shoot over 100 trying to follow them too closely as it would slow down play considerably and possibly kill the fun a bit.

[trevorevans]

Thanks that was good. Do you get relief from being up against a boundary fence?
