Can you re tee unplayable lie

An unplayable lie can even be declared in a bunker, allowing a player to take a drop inside the bunker for a one-stroke penalty or take the ball out of the bunker for a two-stroke penalty.

So, once a golfer declares their ball or lie unplayable, they agree to take a one-stroke penalty in exchange for being able to improve their lie in one of three ways:. Once a player decides how they want to get relief from an unplayable lie, they identify their point of relief and drop the ball in play. There could be other subsequent rulings that could come into play, particularly if a player chooses the third option of going as far back as they would like.

This is often chosen to create room for a shot or to wind up needing additional relief from a temporary immovable obstruction so the player can have an even better view of their target for the next shot.

Or you may choose to play the ball from the cart path. If you choose nearest point of relief, you do not have a choice as to which side of the path you wish to drop from.

You must drop from the nearest point of relief relative to the balls resting point. Also, you cannot stand on the path if you take relief from it. The nearest point must avoid your stance as well as your swing. Using any club in your bag, drop within one club length of that point no nearer to the hole than where the ball lay on the cart path.

NOTE: if the nearest point means dropping the ball in to a worse situation you can play the ball where it lies on the path. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

Unplayable lie - Lost Ball? Thread starter Val Start date Aug 29, Val Ryder Cup Winner Aug 29, My lad was playing a bounce game the other night, hit a ball into rough just 20 or so yards from the tee.

Declaring the ball lost is a red herring, there's no such option and clearly it wasn't lost. However he can declare it unplayable at any time and replay, under penalty, from where he played the previous shot. The decision as to whether a ball is playable or not is his and his alone.
