Dear Linda,
Can you hit a provisional from other than the tee box, as long as you say provisional?????
Thanks,
Lulu
Dear Lulu,
Yes. You may hit a provisional ball any time from any place for any ball that may be lost outside a water hazard or may be out of bounds. Note that you may not hit a provisional when you are certain your ball has entered a water hazard; if that is the case, you must choose one of the relief options in Rule 26-1, Relief for Ball in Water Hazard [see Ask Linda #12-relief from water hazards, posted on January 14, 2008].
Linda
