Response to Ask Linda #489


Linda:

In Ask Linda #489 you wrote: "Perhaps a better way to remember this is that a ball is on the golf course (not OB) if any part of the ball touches the course."

Exactly, this alternate wording of the OB definition makes it consistent with the definitions of ball in a hazard, etc. I've always wondered why more instructors at rules seminars didn't point this out. Kudos to you for doing so.
