Rule 26 — Water Hazards (Including Lateral Water Hazards) Rule 26-1 It is a question of fact whether a ball lost after having been struck toward a water haz… Video Rating: 3 / 5
I liked that video because it was very interesting. It really does make me know a bit more about golf 🙂 It wasn’t at all about water hazards but about hazards in the outside or something. But again, it was really helpful 😉
Thanks for your feedback. Also, please refer to the notes as well. It covers your options in full detail for both a yellow hazard and a red staked hazard.
does anyone know the rule to putting a another grip over a putters grip, i was thinking of putting a hurling grip over my putter grip to make it thicker, its like a roll of tape grip if ye are wondering what a hurling grip is, thanks if ya can help
When you took a back swing, I noticed that you brushed the grass behind the ball. Is that a violation? Is this similar to the Carl Petterson violation when he hit a leaf on his back swing? TIA
No… it’s not a penalty to brush the grass. You can’t ground the club head on the ground. You can certainly touch grass that is alive, but you can’t brush a dead tree branch or loose impediment. If you did, you will receive a penalty. That was a very unfortunate violation for Carl and many feel that this rule should not have happened.
If there are lose sticks or impediments and you hit them on the backswing, that is a penalty. I recall an incident at Pebble Beach where a play hit off the beach and hit some beach debris.
