Free relief, OB stakes and the one-club drop

» Please allow me to try and explain what is an immovable obstruction once more. They are basically artificial, fixed objects like cart paths, sprinklers, or fences -- they allow for a free, one-stroke relief drop if they interfere with a player's lie, stance, or swing. Relief is not permitted for line-of-sight interference. Players must find the nearest point of complete relief, not closer to the hole, and drop within one club-length.

Most golfers want to hit the ball long, and tilting your shoulders as we turn them will help tremendously. Shift your hips towards your target on your downswing so that your tailbone finishes up closer to the target. But your head should not get closer to the target or go too far over the back foot.

» There's no reason why a reasonable golfer should take more than three to get down from 150 yards. If you spend most of your practice time hitting a 7-, 6- or 5-iron whichever you use for a 150-yard shot, you should hit the middle of the green and now and again sometimes the ball will roll up close to the hole and make you look good.
