Unplayable lie
photo credit: mhofstrand There are three options when you have an unplayable lie: A. Take a one stroke penalty and play from where you hit your previous shot. B. Take a one stroke penalty and drop within two club-lengths but no closer to the hole. C. Take a one stroke penalty and drop behind the point where the ball lay (no limit to distance) keeping that point between the hole and the spot where the ball is dropped. If the ball is sitting in a bunker, it must be dropped in the bunker.
An unplayable lie can be called at any time by the player. It can even be called when a player’s ball is on the green. It is the choice of the player when and where to call an “unplayable lie.”
