What is the Procedures for taking relief from casual water hazard in golf?
There is no such thing as a casual water hazard, there is either casual water or a water hazard. Casual water is anywhere through the green where you take your stance and what is clearly visible. To get relief from this you get a one club length drop from the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole. A water hazard is usually marked with yellow stakes. If you are in the water hazard you have the option to play the ball or take a penalty drop (1 stroke) You can * Take a two club length drop, from the nearest point of relief (which is the spot where you are no longer in the hazard) * Use the designated drop zone * Go back to as near as possible to where you played that previous shot from * or, go back as far back as you want, keeping the point where your ball entered the hazard between yourself and the pin and play another shot. (you can't drop in another hazard)
What is the penalty for a water hazard relief?
You have to take a penalty drop, which is one shot. So if you start a hole, and hit your tee shot into the water, you take your penalty drop and then play your approach, which will be your third shot.
What are the rules for lateral water hazard in golf?

If a ball is struck towards a water hazard and cannot be found what is the ruling?
The key thing is you must know that the ball has went into the water hazard. If it has done so you either play another ball from your original positon, take a two club drop from the edge of the hazard or on a line with the pin and where the ball entered take the ball back as far as you want. There is a one shot penalty for hitting it into the water hazard.
Why did harrington go to other side of hazard to hit shot after putting ball in water?
This was because when you hit into a water hazard you must take a penalty drop, the rules regarding a penalty drop from a water hazard states you must drop no nearer the hole. If Padraig dropped on the same side of the green that is closer to the hole, so he had to go to the other side. You have referred to the stroke and distance rule, consider this. Under stroke and distance he must keep the point where the ball entered the hazard between himself and the pin, this was impossible. As I have said above, he can not drop nearer the hole, where he hit the ball from is irrelevant. He did have the option of replaying the shot from the original position, but he quickly decided he didn't want to do this.

If you have driven into a water hazard immediately in front of the teeing ground can you tee up your next shot or do you have to take a drop in line with the pin?
You Ivor drop in line of where it went in or you can take another of the tee but i prefer to drop in of where it went in cos then you are closer and more chance of u getting your ball closer to the pin as if you were to hit your third of the tee
What if you take a drop from casual water and the ball roles back into casual water?
If you drop it and it rolls back into the water, you take another free drop, if this rolls back into the water you place the ball where it touched the ground on the second drop. Remember, no nearer the hole.
What happens in golf when your ball hits a water hose on the fairway?
If you hit the ball into the water there is a one shot penalty. You can either drop the ball 2 club lengths from the edge of the hazard or you can go back as far you like in line with the point where the ball entered the hazard. Or you can even go back to the tee, you will be playing 3 off the tee. That is not strictly correct. The question asks only about "water". There are two "types" of water in the Rules of Golf. i.e. Casual Water(CW) , which is a temporary collection of water, and water in a water hazard. There are two types of water hazard i.e Regular water hazard(WH) and a lateral water hazard, (LWH). It is still a WH or LWH even if there is no water in it. If your ball is at rest in Casual Water, you are required to proceed, without penalty, under Rule 25-1. If your ball is at rest in eithe a WH or LWH, you must proceed under Rule26-1.Note. If your ball lies in a LWH you have an additional relief optionviz.Rule26-1c. Which ever relief option you wish to prcoceed under in Rule26-1 it will cost you a penalty stroke. However, a player is not obliged to take relief. He ALWAYS has the option to play the ball as it lies, Rule 13-1.
Options a player in golf has if a ball is hit in a water hazard?
You can play it, but you cannot ground your club unless you are in the process of playing a stroke. Go back as far as you like, keeping the point of entry between you and the flag and take a penalty drop, this costs one stroke. (If you take this option, you must take full relief so you cannot drop it in the hazard) And you must drop no nearer the hole. You can go back to where you played the original stroke from, this also costs a penalty stroke. You can use the drop zone if there is one, this also costs one penalty stroke. You don't need to retrieve your ball if you cannot reach it, or find it, you may play another ball, as long as you and/or playing partners saw or believe your ball entered the hazard.
The water hazard on the golf course is determined by which color?
Either red or yellow. Color determines the rules, not the type of hazard. If you hit the ball in the water and in was marked red, you would take a stroke and drop your ball within two club lengths or as far back as you want between the tee box and point of entry. And pretty much the same for the yellow.
