Hi Linda,
With regard to dropping a ball within one/ two club lengths,
am I right in thinking that after measuring the length out, that you stand
within this distance but can drop the ball to land outside this distance? Love
your posts.
Thank you,
Lou from Ireland
Dear Lou,
I’m afraid not, Lou. When the Rules require that you drop
within a specific area, you must drop the ball in that area. After the ball is
dropped, it may very well roll outside the prescribed area. That does not pose
a problem if it does not roll more than two club-lengths from where it hit the
ground or closer to the hole than its original position [Rule 20-2c].
Where you place your feet when you drop a ball is not
governed by a rule. The Rules are only concerned with where you drop the ball.
Linda
