Is it legal to take a practice swing in a bunker or sand trap.
Answer: There is no prohibition against taking a practice swing as long as the sand is not touched…”air-swings” are fine..
Am I correct that a conceded putt must be picked up in match play, but in medal play the opponent may elect to putt anyway and risk missing the putt?
Answer: The suggested answers are NOT correct… In match play, once conceded, the player may putt out or not, since a concession may not be refused or retracted; In medal play (“stroke play”), there are no concessions permitted, and all putts must be holed.
I was told a player may declare unplayable lie at any time during the course of their round. My question is if a ball ends up in a sand trap are they allowed to penalize themselves (declare unplayable) and drop their ball outside the trap? And when a player does declare unplayable lie what is the penalty?
Answer: An unplayable drop comes with a one stroke penalty. The player can drop outside a bunker, but only at the point where he played the previous stroke. If that is on the teeing ground, then the ball may be teed anywhere within the teeing ground. Otherwise, it must be dropped as near as possible to the original position. The two other options are for a player to drop with that penalty inside the bunker, not nearer the hole, either within two clublengths of the position in the bunker or behind that point, keeping the position the ball is dropped on line with the hole.
On a par3 with water between the tee and green, if you hit your tee shot in the water and choose to hit from the tee area again are you allowed to "re-tee" your ball or must your ball lie directly on the ground
Answer: Any ball played under stroke and distance from the teeing ground may be teed anywhere within the teeing ground; in all other circumstances, the player must drop as near as possible to the original position, or on the putting green (like Tiger at Augusta's 13th when he putted into the hazard) place the ball as near as possible to that position.
Tee shot goes left in desert after rainsoaked day not out of bounds and playable yet 3/4ths of the ball is plugged in mud must i hit it as it lies or can i declare unplayable lie w/ penaly 1 club lentgh drop no closer to the hole
Answer: a player may ALWAYS declare a ball unplayable anywhere on the course except a water hazard at any time…it is totally at the discretion of the player. Since casual water relief is not available for muddy conditions, taking an unplayable is probably the best answer.
