The rules of golf depend entirely on what your purposes in playing are. For the vast majority of people who play casually, you can choose to follow the rules as much or as little as you would like. Such legalistic concerns around bunkers really only apply to the tiny fraction of people who play in tournaments.

@geoffcohen613 11 месяцев назад

In Australia, most weekly club competitions are played as stableford scoring system. Hence rules apply.

@rdj3video 11 месяцев назад

Greenside bunker-walk into bunker, pick up the ball, rake the sand so the bunker is silky smooth, place ball on fringe. The group behind you will appreciate this time saving and course maintenance effort.

@erikk.5704 11 месяцев назад

This would all imply I can actually get out of the bunker in the first place 😂

@bigdogpete43 11 месяцев назад

I have been in some bunkers that were in just awful condition from lack of maintenance, previous players, or both. I don't consider rolling my ball in those to be cheating.

@Parrott65 11 месяцев назад

Rules or not, if my ball ends up in a foot print or any other spot in a bunker because some inconsiderate person didn't rake it before me, you better believe I am going to change my lie and I don't care what the other players think. But that's fine, because I don't play competition golf anyhow. Pro golfers get freshly raked and thoroughly raked bunkers. I don't get that luxury, because of the drunks that play the course who couldn't care less about the quality of the course for everyone else.

@Donkor640 11 месяцев назад

Same here. These are rules for well maintained golf courses with very competitive players. I rake well past the footprints that I make so in payment I get to move my ball out of the old footprints.

@thetowndrunk988 11 месяцев назад

That’s the best part about a couple of my local courses- you never have to rake, or worry about footprints, because the sand is basically concrete. You just give it a whack, order a new wedge, schedule wrist surgery, and move on with your life. No rake needed

@AB-nv7bz 11 месяцев назад

The testing the lie is a bs rule. A course I play all the time I know the sand. A course I have never played no idea. Firm wet sand, gotta clip it. Soft fluffy sand splash shot. Try a splash in firm sand. Blade it 60 yards. I get it for pros but for amateurs we should be allowed to test the sand

@glennwiebe5128 11 месяцев назад

The bunkers at the same course vary too. Drainage pipe barely covered. No sand at the bottom. A foot of sand at the bottom. Yup, test/rake prior to.

@AB-nv7bz 11 месяцев назад

@@glennwiebe5128 If you play it often you know. Thats my point. And using the rake for the purpose of testing is cheating.

@ralpho58 11 месяцев назад

I always test the sand. I've been burned too many times by greenskeepers who rake 1/4" of sand over hardpan and I end up blading my sand shot 60 yds into the woods.

@ralpho58 11 месяцев назад

These rules are great for courses with nice fluffy sand but play some courses and you need to break a rule or two just to keep your sanity.

@mem30075 10 месяцев назад

Agree for any tournament level play.... however, the grey area is a bit nitpicky...since it's difficult enough getting on the green.... especially from deep bunkers 😉

@gtrplayya 11 месяцев назад

We generally allow a player to rake where the ball lies and then roll the ball back it. However, some guys build a "Sand Tee"!!!😆

@georgespalding7640 11 месяцев назад

I guarantee you there's money games where this takes place. But in official USGA amateur events and Pro events I doubt very many players ever cheat because it goes against the Spirit of the game of golf. And if anyone is caught cheating, that stays with them the rest of their career. Patrick Reed had a reputation that started in college and has never left him.

@Drew_peaballs_128 11 месяцев назад

Most of guys I play with in the social group nearly do all these you said and it never helps em win Usually they take 4-5 to get out of the bunker I never say anything because we arnt playing for sheep stations so if they wanna cheat they are only cheating themselves

@daddyharry6065 11 месяцев назад

The footprint lie could be countered if on the day the course rule was for a clean and place ? 🤔

@Burningrobes 11 месяцев назад

At my club additional rules are given for comps on the day. Bad weather/winter conditions allow for rake and place. Another course i play at has a rule for bad conditions to use a fairway mat or otherwise place the ball in the first cut and play from there with no penalty if you don't have a fairway mat.

@RobBoryckiGolf 11 месяцев назад

@kennymartin4928 11 месяцев назад

I read in golf digest that you could take practice swings, in another bunker not the one your ball is in any truth to that

@Uniquecapture 11 месяцев назад

If I carefully find the plugged ball and take my shot only to find it was not mine as I would have to have lifted it to identify it, have i broken the rules as I hit the sand before playing my actual ball.

@markmaynard6551 11 месяцев назад

at what time before your tournament round for the day are you allowed to check out the slope of the greens and the condition of the sand? Before all play begins ?

@kenbrown2808 11 месяцев назад

wait until they all have their heads back and their beers up, then take your swing, swear, and say you hit it long. then be first to the green and "find" your ball just over the lip of the green.

"Can't test the conditions of the sand" in the bunker you are in. You can go to a different bunker and hit 20 practice shots if you want. Just not in the bunker you are in.

It’s only cheating if you keep a handicap or playing for something with your partner

@mnolanco5599 11 месяцев назад

I have a question. Watching the US Open and Rory hit into the grass above a bunker and they ruled that his ball was embedded and he got a free drop. Would this not be the same situation with a ball buried into a bunker. I know he got a drop in the wrong spot but he did get a free drop as his ball was embedded below the playing surface like your sand shot example.

@marshallgrimmett6290 10 месяцев назад

Nope, embedded ball rule does not apply in bunkers since that is not an abnormal playing condition. Balls don’t usually embed in grass unless it’s really wet which is considered abnormal. In fact there’s even a clean and place rule when it’s really wet that lets you pick your ball up, clean it, and place it back in the same lie.

@calvindebeverly7410 11 месяцев назад

Clearly phidip.2328 does not understand the philosphy behind golf. The rules are not there to control what you do on the course. The rules are there so you can follow them building a mindset of honesty that can be applied to all or your life. Also the rules teach you that sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and take life as it comes at you.

If the bunker is filled with water, and your ball is in it, can you get a free drop outside the bunker?

10:49 that is wrong you can go as far back as you want. BUT you have to stay in bounds. so you can not get around the world but you can go back further than your last shot.
