Linda:
We have a green that has water around two sides. There are
red lateral hazard stakes marked by the water. If your ball goes across the
green and into the water do you play it as a lateral hazard or a water
hazard. I thought it was played as a water hazard but someone in our group
disagreed. Thanks for your help.
Love how you answer these questions so promptly.

Dear Lulu,
When the ball last crosses the margin of a hazard at a point
where the hazard is marked by red stakes, your ball lies in a lateral water
hazard. You are entitled to all of the relief options provided in Rule 26-1.
