Each comes with a different set of options and related penalties, so let's break it down. A set of red stakes marks the margin of a lateral water hazard. Really, this should be the only kind of water hazard there is, but we digress. A lateral water hazard is water that can come into play with a poor shot, but it runs alongside or adjacent to the intended line of play.
These are hazards that, when entered, make little sense to ask a player to drop from behind where the ball entered. It could make the drop onerous or unfair. So, when a player hits their ball in a lateral water hazard , they have some different options.
They can hit the ball from the hazard but cannot ground their club in it before hitting the ball. And because the nature of complying to this penalty takes time, hitting a provisional ball instead is a good alternative. More on this can be found in Rule You get a one-stroke penalty for landing your golf ball onto a water hazard. Your ball is considered in the water hazard when it touches the yellow markers or lies within the hazard. It is also worth noting that there are two options a golfer can choose from for dealing with a one-stroke penalty due to water hazard.
The first option is to play the ball from its previous spot. And the other option is to take a drop — that is dropping the ball at any point behind the hazard marker that was violated. More on water hazard rules in Rule It is worth noting that a single body of water hazard could have its side marked differently depending on whether its parts run adjacent or across the line of play.
That is to say a water hazard could have a yellow stake or line from one side and a red stake or line from the other side depending on its position and coverage on a golf course. You either play your ball if possible or apply the one-stroke penalty and take a drop for having your ball in a lateral water hazard. However, Committees may still use yellow stakes or lines in some instances, from which the lateral relief option would not be available.
There is nothing to stop you playing the ball as it lies in a penalty area marked with red stakes in golf if safe and perhaps wise! If you opt to play it, there is no penalty for touching the ground or water with your hand or club.
You may take practice swings and touch or move loose impediments when your ball lies in a penalty area marked with red stakes in golf or lines.
You can do all these things just as you can in the general area of the course. A word of warning though — if you move your ball in the process, you will be penalised under Rule 9. If you decide not to play your ball, you have three relief options at your disposal.
There's no guarantee that all of them will always be practical depending on the topography and geography. You also have this option if you do know for sure that your ball is in a red penalty area.
To proceed, find where you last played from as a reference point, estimating the spot if you're not sure. Drop your ball within a one club-length arc of that point not nearer the hole and then play it.
There is a penalty of one stroke. You must drop in the same area of the course as your reference point. So if your reference point is in the general area , your relief area must also be in the general area.
