There are several ways to drop a ball that is in a hazard.
If the hazard is marked with a red line or red stakes the options for dropping the ball are as follows
- Two clubs length from the spot that the ball last crossed the hazard no closer to the hole
- Replay the shot from a spot as near to the spot that the original ball was last played
- Two clubs lengths from the opposite side of the hazard that is equal distance from the hole
If the hazard is marked yellow then the options are:
- As far back as want keeping the ball in line with the point at which the ball crossed the hazard and the pin
- Replay the shot from a spot as near to the spot that the original ball was last played

∙ 13y agowhen hit out of bound you must drop in the same place that u hit the shot from and take one stroke for the shot one for the drop and then a third for the next shot. In a water hazard it depends on what the hazard is staked as. If it is yellow stakes then u can either drop at the drop area or rehit from the same location. However if it is red staked and u crossed the red hazard line u can drop anywhere between where u hit from and where the ball crossed into the hazard.

A ball crosses a water hazard and rolls back into the water?
The ball is played from where it stops. If you can't hit it out of the hazard, take the drop and penalty.

In Golf.....Rule for ball in play?
you hit the ball towards the flag. But if it goes in a water hazard, you drop before the water.
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.
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)
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.
You hit a tee shot down the right side of hole 10 there are some white stakes out of bounds which your ball has come to rest on the right side of how many penalty strokes where do you hit from next?
The proper answer is stroke and distance. You drop a ball where you hit your last shot from and add one to your total. That means you have to count the one you hit out of bounds and the one you're about to hit. Most beer leagues play O.B. like a lateral water hazard - drop within two club lengths of where the ball went out of bounds and add a penalty stroke. Or somewhere nearby. It really speeds up play, but it's not the proper procedure for serious golf.
What 2 options are lost from the lateral water hazard?
* Replay the previous shot * Stroke and distance, keeping the point where the ball entered the hazard between you and the flag, drop the ball on either side of the hazard, no nearer the hole. * Two club length drop, from nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole. All the above options carry a one stroke penalty.
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.
If you can not find your ball in a hazard is it considered lost?
This is known as a lateral hazard, it differs from a water hazard as you can drop on either side of the hazard. There are a couple of options;Take a two club length drop, from the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole.Replay the previous shot, from the previous position.Keep the point where the ball entered the hazard between you and the pin, and go back as far as you like.You do have the option of playing the ball as it lies, but remember, you can not ground you club in a hazard.
If a golfer's ball is in a hazard and he encounters an animal and fears for his safety does he get free relief?
He gets relief from an animal as an Outside Agency. A drop would be allowed without penalty. It cannot be closer to the hole. If the ball is in a hazard, the drop would be allowed either in the same hazard or another similar hazard, as long as it isn't closer to the hole.
Behind green in sand bunker hit shot into water in front of green were do you place the ball?
You would have to drop the ball one club length from the hazard boundary on the side of the water furthest from the green, because you can not go nearer the hole.
