Rule of the Month: Dropping

July 1, 2021

Topic Overview:

When taking relief, whether with penalty
or without, you must drop a ball. The ball
must be dropped straight down from knee
height, must be dropped by you (or your
partner), must first strike the ground within
your relief area, and must remain within
that relief area. Your caddie is not allowed
to drop your ball.

The relief area is always measured from a
reference point. The reference point for an
unplayable ball is simply the spot where
the ball lies. For a ball in a penalty area,
it is the spot where the ball crossed the
edge of the penalty area. When taking
relief from things like temporary water,
ground under repair, cart paths, and
sprinkler heads (abnormal course
conditions), the reference point is called
the nearest point of complete relief. This
is the spot on the course nearest to where
your ball lies, but not nearer the hole,
where you could play your next stroke
with no interference from the condition
you’re taking relief from.

nearest point of complete relief.
