2) MEASURE THE AREA TO DROP - In 2019, you will

measure the area to drop with the longest club in your

bag (except a putter). Remember if you use a shorter

club, your longest one still determines the size of the

3) RELIEF AREA – Drop ball in relief area and play from

the relief area. RULE 14.1

4) DROPPING THE BALL ON A LINE - When dropping

back-on-the-line, your ball cannot be played from nearer

the hole than your chosen reference point. A player

should mark the reference point with a tee or other small

object (i.e. coin). RULE 17.1d(2), 19.2b, 19.3b

5) TIME TO SEARCH FOR A LOST BALL - The allotted

time to search for a lost ball is 3 minutes (NOT 5

minutes). RULE 18.2a

the original spot. RULE 13.1d(2)

13) PENALTY AREAS (PA) - replaces water hazards.

You can move/remove loose impediments, ground

penalty, just as you can in the general area

RULE 17.1 – Def. Penalty Area

14) RELIEF FROM PENALTY AREAS - You can’t take relief from a penalty area unless you are 95%

in the area right in front of or right behind your ball,

during your backswing or in taking practice swings.

RULE 12.2b

17) FREE RELIEF FOR EMBEDDED BALL - Free

relief is allowed if your ball is embedded on the

general area (but “embedded” means part of your ball is below the level of the ground, in its own

pitch-mark → not from a divot in the general area).

RULE 16.3

seconds to make a stroke (and usually you should

be able to play more quickly than that) and Ready
