Linda,
Is it not true that you must drop WITHIN the second club-length
of the relief area for an unplayable ball, or can I drop anywhere within the
two club-length area?
I had a rules official inform me that this is how one must
drop on a two club-length drop.
Lou from Minnesota
Dear Lou,
That may be one of the strangest rulings I have ever heard, Lou.
The official was incorrect. If you look at the wording under Rule 28 (Ball
Unplayable), you will see that Section C says "Drop a ball within two
club-lengths…" It does not say "within the second club-length."
Your rules official needs to go back to school.
Linda
