Linda–
Player feels that he has an unplayable lie in the bunker. Is
he allowed to call an unplayable lie and then take a penalty drop in the bunker
not nearer the hole?
Lou from Scotland
Dear Lou,
You may declare your ball “unplayable” anywhere on the golf
course except in a water hazard. Under penalty of one stroke, you may drop in the bunker within two club-lengths
not closer to the hole. You have two other options: (1) drop in the bunker on
the line-of-sight to the hole, or (2) play a ball under stroke and distance
[Rule 28].
