Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 08/04/2026

» Your ball is in what the Rules call "temporary water." You may play your ball as it lies or take free relief. You take free relief by finding the nearest point of complete relief where you are clear of the puddle and then drop your original ball away from the puddle and within one club-length of that point, not nearer the hole. You may also take relief from a puddle of water if your ball is in a bunker.

The 3-options for relief are -- stroke-and-distance, back-on-the-line, or lateral relief within two club-lengths of where the ball is at rest.

Sports, Published on 25/12/2025

» Signing your scorecard after you've finished your round is more than just a formality; it directly impacts the outcome of a round. A small error in confirming your score can lead to serious consequences, including disqualification from the tournament. In stroke play tournaments, a player's score is recorded by a marker after each hole. After completing the round, the marker must verify the score by signing, initialing, or marking the scorecard.
