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.

What if a player hits his ball in the woods off the tee?
There is two options open to you, they each cost you a penalty stroke. You can replay the ball from the tee (which will be your 3rd shot), or you can take a drop. To take the drop, you can go back as far as you want, keep the point where the ball entered the hazard between you and the flag and drop the ball (the next shot will also be your 3rd). As it is a water hazard, you do not need to get the ball, as long as you saw the ball enter the hazard, you are allowed to play another ball.
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 are the rules for playing a provisional ball?
A provisional ball can be played when a golfer is uncertain if their original ball is lost outside a water hazard or out of bounds. To properly play a provisional ball, the player must announce their intention to hit one before doing so and must play it from the same spot as the original ball. If the original ball is found in bounds, the provisional ball is abandoned. If the original ball is lost or out of bounds, the provisional ball becomes the ball in play.
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 a game of golf when you lose the first ball you hit and then find it after you've hit a drop provisional?
You hit a provisional when the ball you just hit might be lost outside of a hazard. Usually that means you think you have hit it out of bounds or into some sort of mess where it's unlikely that you will find it. Hitting a provisional means that you are taking stroke and distance IF you don't find your first ball. If you find your first ball anywhere in play (whether or not you like where it is or even if it's unplayable) before you hit your provisional after reaching where the ball is likely to be, then the provisional is cancelled and you continue with your first ball, just as though you never hit the provisional. Once you've reached the point where your ball probably is and hit the provisional again, you're stuck with the provisional and the stroke and distance penalty that you took. This is covered in Rule 27-2, see www.usga.org. There are many interesting decisions related to this one, mostly about what constitutes a "lost" ball.

If you lose a ball in golf and are unable to find it within the allotted time, you must take a stroke-and-distance penalty. This means you add one stroke to your score for the lost ball and then drop a new ball in the original spot where you played your last shot. In total, this results in two strokes: one for the lost ball and one for the new shot.
