| Out of bounds/lost ball
I think it's the out of bounds/lost ball rule that gets broken most often by casual golfers. A lot of people use the same rule that applies to a hazard, where you drop a ball where it went out of bounds and take your penalty. You are really supposed to replay your shot, whether it be on the tee box or in the fairway. If you are not sure it went out of bounds, play a provisional. |
