Ask Linda 1864-Back-on-the-line relief in penalty area


Linda,
If dropping on the line, can the ball be dropped in the penalty area?
Lulu from Hollywood, Florida

Dear Lulu,

No.

When your ball lies in a penalty area, you may either play it as it lies in the penalty area or take penalty relief outside the penalty area under Rule 17.1d or 17.2 [Rule 17.1b].
