Optional -FOR LOST BALL or BALL OUT OF BOUNDS

Instead of using the Stroke and Distance penalty you can choose to impart this Local Rule, which allows you drop Two Club Lengths onto the edge Fairway closest to where:

Your ball WENT Out of Bounds or

Your ball is DEEMED to be lost.

If your ball is Lost or OB over a green you may drop at the fairway edge at a point where the ball is equidistant from the hole from the point it was Lost or OB.

If you choose to hit a provisional from your previous spot your provisional becomes “in play” and you forfeit your opportunity to utilize this rule.

You can still go back and use the regular Stroke and Distance option and not use this OPTIONAL Local Rule.

Remember it is now only 3 MINUTES to look for a ball.
