Water pooled in sand trap left from heavy rain.
Ball lands in water.
Unplayable, can you pull from trap and lay behind trap no closer to the pin without a penalty.
aside from the actual shot, can a players club touch the sand before or after a shot from the bunker?
my ball went into a bunker i entered the bunker and saw a rock the size of a golf ball behind my ball and in the way of my swing can i move it . I would have hit the rock with my club. What is the ruling?
Question: I understand that a player cannot “ground” their club in a sand trap prior to the shot. But—what if a player touches the sand with a club or on the backswing “grazed” the sand very slightly. (With HD TVs now–I could see this happening).
I have no intention of grounding my club, but sometimes find myself feeling paranoid that I may touch the sand in a sand trap accidentally. Thanks,
John, check out our forums and ask your question there.
Currently, you’d be penalized, as the provision for HD cameras does not apply to brushing sand in a hazard, as Anna Nordqvist discovered.
My fridge play in carts , if they get held up they will go and play other holes then come back to the ones they missed. Are they allowed to do this ?…
