Linda–
Help - we understand the rules with un-playable lies, but
not this.
A player declares unplayable and returns to the spot where
the ball was last struck. In this case, it is the tee shot. Player re-tees ball
and puts ball in play, now laying 3. The question is, can that player re-tee
the ball? Or is it drop or place on the tee box?
Many thanks – Lou from Montevideo, Uruguay
Dear Lou,
Whenever a player
returns to the teeing ground to hit another shot, he may re-tee the ball [Rule
20-5a]. This is true whether he chooses to return (e.g., unplayable ball) or is
required to return (e.g., lost ball, ball out of bounds).
