Thanks for not explaining how many strokes you are penalized for each situation
Right!?!?
One
A lost or out-of-bounds ball will incur a two shot penalty - stroke and distance. So if hit another ball from the tee (whether it's the provisional shot or you go back after a failed search for your first ball) you must add 2 strokes after the first (lost ball) shot so it becomes your third shot.
If you know exactly where the ball crossed the out of bounds line, and your playing partners agree, to save time, you may be able to drop a new ball and hit from the agreed spot (no closer to the hole) however that will be your FOURTH shot. An easy way to think of it, is if you had gone back to the tee and hit another ball or hit a provisional ball it would have been counted as your third shot, therefore the next time you hit that ball, it will be your fourth shot because you have already advanced down the fairway. So it is usually best to hit a provisional or return to the tee and re-load and hit a better tee shot (your third shot).
@@susanjoyce645 thank you very much for that!!

Out of bounds rule and all penalty strokes need to be simplified
im not nearly good enough for all these penalty strokes :(*
*playing golf and has rules question* "Hey, I wonder what the official rule on this is?" "Check the offical USGA youtube channel!" *checks* "Hey there are convenient short videos on my exact question!" *watches video* "So what does the USGA say about it?" "I literally have no idea"
I have so many remaining questions after watching these videos... So how many penalty strokes is each situation? I'm so confused
One. Hit your tee shot OB. Re-tee, now you’re hitting your third. The difference between OB and a water hazard is you can go hit your third shot closer to the hazard (red/yellow stakes), but if you hit OB (white stakes) you must hit from the same spot.
absolutely. they explained it like we already knew the answer. Gotta explain it for a 5 year old.
My buddies get crazy when I tell them they can't drop and say "hitting three" from where it went into the woods. The local rule is lying three hitting four.

When the ball is close to the 0B line defined by stakes you can't determine in or out from the balll. Go beyond one of the stakes and look down the line to the other stake. It will allow you to see the ball in or out.

What a phenomenally poor job of teaching this is. You couldn't get less instructive if you built a team of people to poorly explain something.
So if I hit a ball, say 200+ yards, that I know is nowhere near out of bounds, but the ball can't be found, I would have to go back and rehit from where I originally made the stroke, 200+ yards back? That can really mess up pace of play. Aren't we allowed, as non pro's, and not being in a tournament, to take the distance and drop where we think the ball was lost, and take just a one stroke penalty instead?
You can do whatever you want these rules are just an option you can follow to play a purr round
There is now an option for courses to implement a local rule that allows you to not take stroke and distance and instead gives you the back on the line option and it also includes the edge of the fairway and two clublengths into the center of the fairway as part of the drop zone so it is pretty generous but it comes with two penalty strokes and it is usually overridden for any local tournaments so not that useful sadly.
If the ball cannot be found, but is definitely not out of bounds yes you can do that as long as everyone agrees however it is correct to go back to the spot where you hit the lost ball from. It would then be your third shot. To speed up pace of play you can take a drop where you think the ball landed (200m off the tee) as long as your playing partners agree, however the next shot is your fourth not your third as you are already 200m advanced down the fairway.
I've recently picked up golf and can see why it is such an impenetrable sport for new players. Sometimes a ball on the fairway (at less quality courses) covered in autumn leaves can't found. To keep up pace of play I usually just put a ball down roughly where I thought it landed and hit WITHOUT penalty, let alone penalty + walking back to the tee or last shot. Sure, in professional golf the courses are better and there are armies of people to find balls quickly but for the rest of us there needs to be a simpler and fairer solution. The stress of searching for a ball is bad enough when people are behind you without adding the stress of 2 more strokes (stroke and distance, a meaningless term for most of us).
@@stephenharris8041I agree 100% if you know your ball didn't go out of bounds why should you suffer a penalty because they don't keep up the course very well
This literally helped no one
How about a ball going to the wrong fairway and after 3 minutes you can’t find it. So you drop another ball. After holing out that hole the player from that other fairway returned your ball and admitted that he had mistakenly hit your ball. Are you still penalized?
Isn’t that a old rule?
this rule still applies for oficial tournaments and pros. amateurs playing weekend golf play under new rule to speed up play
“Stroke and distance” please come up with a better phrase to describe your outdated rules.
2 shot penalty - one shot for stroke and one shot for distance. It is not that hard
@@susanjoyce645 that’s not clear at all from the phrasing
On shot number one, re tee your ball shot number two proceeding tee shot is safe, hence 3 off the tee
First shot in the water, shot number one
Drop a ball where it crossed the water, shot number two, now you are hitting shot number 3 if you go in the water again, you drop a ball and you're now hitting shot number 5
Watch the movie Tin Cup at least the final golf sequence when Cup takes a 12 on the final hole😂😅
@@danarcotta1283 wait, isnt it stroke+DISTANCE, if you drop where it crossed the water, wouldnt it be shot #4 if you take a drop where it crossed the water? Or #3 if you go from the previous spot.
@bermchasin if you decide to drop from where you previously hit , it's one in the water and the drop is counted as a stroke. Make sense?
Stroke and distance means you are hitting your 3rd shot from the tee. I believe in non-competition you can now drop near the OB/point of entrance and call that lying 4 now. I thought they instituted that for faster pace of play for the avg weekend golfer but they don’t mention that here so *shrug*
Yes I thought the same thing. I had to look at the posting date because there seems to be a lot of missing reference to rule updates
If your ball turns out to be an inch out of bounds… walk back to the tee and slow down play as much as possible 👍
What is the penalty. still 2 strokes?
if u play under this rule penaly is one stroke
One stroke. So if your tee shot is out of bounds, you take a one stroke penalty to re-tee and then are hitting 3 with your provisional/second tee shot.
It's always been one stroke penalty. So ur hitting three off the tee after an OB.
What if the tee shot is safe in the fairway..then you proceed to hit OB with your shot #2 from the fairway? If I go and drop 2 club length from where it went OB .. how many stoke penalty is that?
@@orvanschlabach2380 You would NOT drop 2 clubs from where the ball crossed OB. You have that option with red Hazards.
If you hit OB on your second shot, you have to drop a ball where you just hit (perhaps next to your divot). Then you would be hitting 4. If a player did this on the 3rd shot it would be stroke 5 etc.
I agree it helped me none!
Golf rules are made by people who don't even play golf or else they would allow a provisional ball to be used for Unplayable Lie. But no. That provisional you hit for possible OB or Lost Ball cannot be used for Unplayable Lie. Unplayable Lie is closely tied to OB and Lost Ball situations. If the ball is not OB and it is found in the sticks and you can't play it, then back to the tee you go or back to where you played your last shot. Watch Kevin Na score a 16 after hitting into the sticks with no shot available other than to head back to the tee box. ua-cam.com/video/aWTXoNzuk8c/v-deo.html
D.E.I went so hard but didn't explain shit
This explained nothing
Interesting to make a video about golf including every demographic except white males lmao. Opposite Day.
Except the part at 0:26 where there’s a white male in the video
from the start ò the vdo, there is a white male, focus on negative then we can find plenty of faults
Interesting that you never made that comment about other demographics missing in all the other millions of videos.
White men don’t play golf. Country clubs are full of Asian women and black men. 😂
What a weird comment.. especially when there are white males in the video lmaoo. Ignorant Day.
