Ask Linda #855-Use club to align shot


Hi Linda,
If a player hits her ball into a parallel fairway and has a tree line between her ball and the hole she is playing, can she lay a club right in front of her ball and stand behind it to help align her target to the hole???
Thanks,
Lulu from Illinois

Dear Lulu,

A player may place a club on the ground to help align her next shot provided she lifts the club before playing her shot. If she leaves it on the ground she incurs a two-stroke penalty [Decision 8-2a/1].
