Rules of Golf Explained (2023): Penalty Areas

[@electec2008]

Good video, part 2? Ty for uploads

[@peterbaader334]

Good video - clear, concise, easy! Well done!

[@johnnyinchi66]

This one is very good

[@LindaThomas-s3j]

What if your ball lands on a painted red line? Is it considered to be inside or outside of the penalty area? Thank you.

[@beaudean2700]

Why not just play it as it lies

[@JohnFranklin-ju2vi]

The line is part of the penalty area

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

ANY contact with a RED or YELLOW Line means the Ball IS In the PA. Usually this will allow you to Play It As It Lies rather than having to "Pay a Stroke" for Relief.

[@iPROxIAMROCK]

@@apaulmcdonough2170 Its almost like the video left more questions than answers... as you reply to 5+ questions unanswered by the video...

[@Imagynuity]

I don’t understand the way option 2 is explained in this video

[@ricewzrd_alt]

Move the ball to the side, away from penalty area

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

Option 2 is "Back On the Line" Relief. The Line starts at the Hole in the Green - goes Straight Back through where the Ball last crossed the Boundary Line of the Penalty Area (either RED or Yellow) and then continues on a Straight Line as far back as you wish. Once there - you Drop your Ball ON THE LINE and the Ball must stay inside a 1 Club Length Radius FULL Circle to be a "Goid Drop". Bouncing Forward is allowed now because "NO Closer to the Hole" is irrelevant here due to the already increased Distance to the Hole you added with this Relief Option. RED Penalty Areas offer the Lateral Relief Option (NOT allowed for YELLOW PA) because often "Back On the Line Relief" isn't feasible for a RED (Lateral) PA.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

​@@ricewzrd_alt2 Club Length Lateral Relief - for RED Penalty Area only - is NOT "Back On The Line" Relief.

@@apaulmcdonough2170 I thought the video covered this? be a shame if someone where to think this 1:30 video actually explained the rules of golf in penalty areas....

[@8SheldonS8]

Is there a stroke penalty for hitting into a penalty area in addition to any relief penalty?

[@boblloyd3488]

You may play the ball as it lies, if possible, within the penalty area without any penalty..if you want to take relief it will be 1 penalty stroke

[@8SheldonS8]

@@boblloyd3488 I mean, what is the initial penalty for hitting into a penalty area?

[@boblloyd3488]

@@8SheldonS8 there is no initial penalty..if you can “play it as it lies” in the penalty area there is no penalty. Only penalty is when you wish to take relief

[@mattmalloff7377]

1 stroke only

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

NO Penalty to your Score.

What about 2 club lengths anywhere along the staked penalty area no closer to the hole?

[@mattmalloff7377]

For a red staked area, yes.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

Your Two Club Lengths start from the RED Line WHERE the Ball Rolled or Flew over the RED Line. You don't get to pick "anyplace you like" on the Line, and the Ball cannot be Dropped or Come to Rest closer to the Hole than "the Proper Point on the RED Line" is. There is NO "Lateral Relief" allowed for YELLOW PA.

Red also gives you the option to drop on the other side of the hazard

[@bobtheaccountant2534]

Not anymore. That rule was deleted several years ago.

[@stedmanbennett5602]

As of Jan 1 2020 dropping on the other side is not an option. Rules changes made to speed up play. That is when the hazards were renamed penalty areas

[@Russellrks]

Can't you also go back as far as you want on the line of flight into the hazard and drop?

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

​​@@RussellrksOption 2 is BACK On The Line Relief, with the Start of the Line being the Hole in the Green going through where the Ball Flew or Rolled over the Boundary Line of the Penalty Area and continuing along That Line in the same direction away from the Hole. There has NEVER been any Relief involving "Line of Flight". "Line of Flight" has always been a MYTH in relation to taking Relief.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

@stedmanbennett5602 "Hazards" were separated to become either RED or YELLOW "Penalty Areas" OR "Bunkers". Each with their own distinct Rules and Procedures.

[@billy38010]

I’m not sure you can ground a club in a penalty area.

You can ground your club in a penalty area. Rule was changed, I believe in 2019.

[@fade6733]

Thanks, mate

[@LegolasFan69]

Nobody is bc they changed so many rules

[@Rondo8951]

Used to not be able to move loose impediments either but rule change

[@gnarkilleptic4871]

This shit is so god damn confusing and for what

[@seeingbeyond666]

IMO, any ball that goes in the water you should not be able to place it in the fairway, should be secondary Grass, the PGA, and LPGA players get more relief than they should when millions are on the line.

[@Imagynuity]

Well when your opinion matters, I’m sure they’ll call you and let you know.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

@seeingbeyond666 There is NO distinction between Fairway and Rough when it comes to taking either Free Relief or Penalty Relief. Both are part of the General Area. Height of the Grass is immaterial to the appropriate Relief Area allowed.

Nope, didn't explain "SHIT". DID explain exactly what you can and cannot do once you played your Ball into a Penalty Area.

[@iPROxIAMROCK]

@@apaulmcdonough2170 It actually didn't there are 5 better videos aside from this one that actually classify what hazards require what penalty. Thanks for your useless input though. You probably cant even break 80 loser.

[@iPROxIAMROCK]

@@apaulmcdonough2170 They did not even discuss unmarked hazards you clown xD do you even play golf competitively? Nor did they go over penalty involving other players. Nor did they go over re drops. Nor did they go over how dense you have to be to think a 1 minute and 29 second video encompasses the "Rules of Golf". Thanks.

[@iPROxIAMROCK]

Scroll through the comments bud theres questions left unanswered everywhere. Maybe go be useful, as just a quick scroll down can shoe you everything it did not explain. Pathetic.

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

@iPROxIAMROCK Watch the Video BEFORE dropping your own obnoxious and erroneous "comments". Or maybe just attempt to Learn the Actual Rules, rather than have your cognitive dissonance run you along with the other Know Nothings.
