Thank you for your thorough review of the red penalty areas. I have two questions. 1. Back on the Line Relief: This is not the same as "line of flight" that the ball entered the red penalty area. In other words, anywhere from where you hit the ball and where it went in. Correct? 2. If the ball is lost in the red penalty area, is it still just a 1 stroke penalty after you choose your drop zone option? Is it treated as an out-of-bounds where you have to take two-stroke penalty?
Thanks for the view and questions. 1. Back on the line relief is the option that uses where your ball last crossed the margin of the Red Penalty Area. Like shown on the video mark this spot with a tee and draw a line between this point and the flag and take a drop back on the line with a 1-stroke penalty. 2. Unless the scorecard or golf tournament committee specifies, then a drop zone will be only a 1-stroke penalty. By the way a ball that is out of bounds is only a 1-stroke penalty. See our Golf Rules Tip Out of Bounds Video. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the view and comment! Great question. In this situation you would be entitled using the principles of a circle to work around to the side of the green to find your nearest point of complete relief not closer to the hole. Could be many yards away depending on the situation.
when playing it as it lies, you said you get no relief if it's immovable like a cart path. Is this only true inside a red staked area? I always thought you got free relief on any man made structure, especially if it stops on / near a cart path
@@PJo336 that is correct in that you don’t get free relief from immovable obstructions inside red or yellow penalty areas. Golf rule 16. Thanks for the view!
Love these videos, however as can be expected there are many situations in golf where the situation is not quite as clear. For example, at our Club, Member Member Tournament. Par 3 water in front of the green with a drop zone. Player hits ball and estimates that it went into the hazard but did not see a splash. Hits ball from drop zone, skulls it across the green into another red hazard. As the player is walking up to the green, sees his original ball just outside the hazard on the opposite side of the hazard. As you can imagine, he now thinks this ball is in play, chips it onto the green and makes par. What would be the ruling? In my mind as soon as he hit from the drop zone that ball is in play and he should be penalized 2 strokes for hitting the wrong ball?
Thanks for the view and comment. Yes once the player has decided to play from the drop zone with a 1-stroke penalty this is the new ball in play from that point forward once he strikes the ball and the original ball must be abandoned and cannot be played.
Thank you very much.. Any changes with the yellow?
I’ll make a yellow penalty area video soon showing the update. Be on the lookout!
Great video. Thanks.

Excellent. Thank you.

What if the red penalty is behind the green and there is nowhere to take relief without going closer to the hole?
Thanks for the view and comment! Great question. In this situation you would be entitled using the principles of a circle to work around to the side of the green to find your nearest point of complete relief not closer to the hole. Could be many yards away depending on the situation.
What about opposite side of the lateral hazard within two club lengths?
Thanks for the view and comment! As of 2019 the rules changed not allowing an option to drop on the opposite side of a penalty area.

Can you do a video on wrongly substituted ball, can’t find understand why they are not wrong ball
