Good evening Linda,
I have a question relating to playing a provisional ball.
We played at an away golf club today. One of the Local Rules
allows one-club-length placing on the fairway. One of the guys in our group
indicated that he was playing a provisional ball (his second shot). He dropped
the ball and then moved the ball under the local rule. Is this allowed with a
provisional ball?
Kind regards,
Lou from Cape Town, South Africa
Dear Lou,
Yes. When a Local Rule is in place permitting preferred
lies, the player may improve the lie of a provisional ball after he has dropped
it.
Linda
