Linda–
From the tee position, if a ball travels over water and then
land but cuts back into the hazard, does a player play his third shot from
where the ball first crossed the hazard line or where it last crossed the
hazard line? (The hazard was a lateral hazard.)
Lou from Chicago
Dear Lou,
Regardless of whether the hazard is lateral (red-staked) or
regular (yellow-staked), the reference point for taking relief is always where
the ball last crossed the margin of
the hazard [Rule 26-1b, c].
