If someone forced me to put my relief shot in the bushes that would be the last time I play with them

If you're playing with a group of friends and are this strict about the rules, you probably won't get invited out next time.

I’ve played with people that every fairway stroke they pick their ball up to identify it. Even if making it the ball first it never seems to be replaced as deep in the grass after being picked-up and replaced as where it originally laid when found. Constantly improving their lay, but apparently within the rules.

Hopefully everyone knows the difference between knowing the rules and enforcing them. If someone wants to say they scored an 85, when you see them making multiple infractions a game, don't call them out on it, let them have their day in the sun, and they'll probably buy a round of drinks because of their good mood.

Let a judge from a competition worry about enforcing the rules and turning your 15 handicap buddy back to the 25 they should be.

If your partner or opponent finds that ball in a bush. Before you get too grumpy and try to hack it out. Remember you can deem it unplayable, take relief within 2 club lengths no nearer the hole at a cost of only 1 stroke. You’ll be playing your third from there. Instead of your fourth from the fairway. You may well be better off.

About the lost ball, although you can’t declare it “lost”, you always have the option to declare it “unplayable”, especially when you are familiar with the course, knowing you won’t be able to play from that given position. So, you can immediately play another ball, if you decide not to go and search for it.

Sometimes etiquette regarding the rules is the best rule. Especially if it is accidental or the person is new to golf. (eg tell them before if you see they are in front of the tee markers

Loved the video. One thing on nearest point of relief that should have been mentioned is that it can be totally different if you're right or left handed. I the case given, a left handed person would have been on the green side of the cart path.

Played This course a couple of years ago, I holed by 3rd shot on this Par 5.Absolutely beautiful golf course.

I really appreciate videos like these. Attention to details is something I love and I enjoyed learning more about seemingly small details about the game.

[Antonyosb]

more of this please, excellent work thank you

[terrybenson]

I looked at what "Thunda watch" said in reply to a comment on this subject. "Thunda'" said the nearest "reference point" of relief in this circumstance, should be identified using the club that is intended to be used for the stroke. The one club-length area of relief is then measured using the longest club in the bag. I believe, then one may change which club will be used to play the stroke.

[derekholland]

I don’t believe golf should be this serious 😂

[JimmyGunXD]

I do not understand lost ball rule. I say provisional a ball can be found. Dont say provisional and just hit another ball I can play my second ball which will exclude the ball I figured was unplayable? It comes across to me not to say provisional at all if you think the shot is lost?

[TWTexasA]

There’s some players on one of the UK golf channels almost always take illegal relief . It’s really quite pitiful to watch them do it . I wish I could grab them by the collar and say whoa there fella what do you think your doing…🤪🤪🤪😂😂

[davidwalton]

I've been looking everywhere for a definitive answer to this question... What constitutes the golf ball moving when removing loose impediments. I removed some twigs near my ball and it "jiggled" without moving from its spot. Does that constitute a nice and therefore a penalty?

[jonathonho]

With it being winter a lot of people play lift, clean and replace what are the rules surrounding this? Great video though 👍

[TWTexasA]

I see that infraction quite often watching videos where a player who hit a provisional will find their ball buried and decide to play the provisional ball…good to know I can now talk smack about them 😂😂😂

[johnchampion]

Please clarify the lost ball rule. If I hit a ball into some bad rough and do not want to find my ball, my understanding from your video, is that I can then state that I am playing another ball (no mention of a provisional) and that ball then becomes the ball in play. This would, in effect, prevent any other players from searching for my ball. Am I correct?

[robmoon]

It’s not ‘cheating’ if you don’t know the rule. I think this is clearly about treating others with respect and very careful use of language. It’s an error, an oversight born of ignorance and something to be remedied with less incendiary remarks?
