Linda,
What if your ball is in a bunker and while you are walking in you bobble your club and drop it in the bunker. How should you treat this one?
Sand in the head,
Lulu
Dear Lulu,
You will not incur a penalty for accidentally dropping your club –or even yourself, should you trip and fall– in a hazard. As long as you have not deliberately dropped your club or fallen in the sand to test the condition of the hazard, and you have not improved your lie, you’re good to go [Rule 13-4, Exception 1]. Pick yourself (or your club) up, dust yourself off, and proceed with your shot.
Linda
