Hi Linda,
A player makes a stroke at his teed ball and his clubhead
just touches it knocking it off the tee. The player picks up the ball and
re-tees it and plays it down the fairway, how many does he lie?
Lou from Spain
Dear Lou,
He lies three.
When he swings at the ball and knocks it off the tee, the
ball is in play. When he lifts the ball in play and replaces it on the tee, he
is playing under stroke and distance.
Count one for the first stroke, one penalty stroke under
stroke and distance, and the second tee shot. His next shot from the fairway
will be his fourth stroke on the hole.
Linda
