Sharon pulls her tee shot on the 8th hole and thinks she will find her ball in the bushes. After the other ladies tee off, Sharon starts looking for and finds her ball in about 90 seconds. Her ball is just beyond a white OB stake. Not wanting to go all the way back to the tee, Sharon assumes she can use the model local rule E-5 and drop a ball into the fairway for a two stroke penalty, which she does.The other ladies weren’t aware that Sharon’s ball was found out of bounds until Sharon casually mentioned it on the 9th tee (which is across a long street and a great distance from the 8th hole). At that time, the other ladies informed Sharon that if her ball was OB she would not be allowed to drop it into the fairway, as Model Local Rule E-5 was not in effect at that course. Since Sharon didn’t want to slow down the group behind her, she said she would take an 8 on the hole and move on.What’s the ruling?GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISE Get yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/ DO YOU HAVE A RULES OF GOLF QUESTION: Email - [email protected] WANT TO TEST YOUR RULES OF GOLF KNOWLEDGE?

Referee Report LIV GOLF June/July 2023 - THE GRQ PODCAST EP93

GRQOTW 92 Answer: Marcela incurs a general penalty (two stroke penalty in stroke play) for playing from the wrong place. There is no further stroke or penalty for playing again from the original place, as the hole was over. LIV GOLF ANDALUCIA

Pride of Spanish golf.

Tough track, with trees very much taking centre stage.

Pace of play issues, and very fast greens.

LIV GOLF LONDON

Back at Centurion Club, where it all began.

Setting up the course.

Negotiating Last Point Crossed.

Ripper GC almost got the team win.

GRQOTW 93 - Fraser and Ross are partners in a four-ball match play against Blakey and Stuart.  Fraser's ball is on the putting green 10m from the hole. Ross' ball is 6m from the hole on a very similar line to his partners'.  To help with his own upcoming putt, Ross stands behind Fraser on an extension of the line of his putt while Fraser putts, but he does stand off the putting green.  As soon as Fraser putts, Blakey states, "thanks guys, we just won that hole!  Ross was standing in the restricted area."   Fraser doesn't agree and calls in a referee.  What is the ruling?

GRQOTW #90

Andy the Average Golfer hits his tee shot way through the green on the par 3 5th hole. As it may be lost in the thick bushes, he announces and plays a provisional ball which lands on the green around 6m from the hole. As the group arrives at the green, Andy announces that he doesn't want to look for his original ball and is declaring it lost. Andy plays his provisional ball to within 1m of the hole, marks and lifts it. Another player sees a ball in the bushes behind the green about 15m from the hole, and it is Andy's original ball. Dejected, Andy picks up the marker on the green and completes the hole with the original ball, scoring 5. Walking to the next tee, the players discuss what just happened and they consult a referee. What is the ruling?

Stuart has a bunker shot, so he takes two wedges and a putter to the bunker.   He chooses one of the wedges and leaves the other clubs on the green.  Blakey also has a bunker shot in a different bunker. He hits his ball out, and is just on the green.  Stuart hits his ball out too. Stuart picks up his putter and wedge left on the green, and immediately Blakey asks him to put them back ... The clubs are directly behind the flag on an extension of Blakey's line of play.  Stuart doesn't believe this is allowed.  What is the ruling?.GOLFRULES QUESTIONS MERCHANDISE Get yourself a Roo&Coo polo: https://golfrulesquestions.myspreadshop.com/ .
