Changing your ball during a hole is a penalty, right? Not always! Remember, any time you take relief - whether that's free relief or penalty relief - you're allowed to use the original ball or change to a different one.

If you ball comes to rest next to a tree root, do you get free relief? A root is simply just another part of the tree, and you don't get free relief from a 🌳 just because it's in your way. Your options are to play it as it lies or taking unplayable ball relief.

When you're off the green, to get relief from a sprinkler head, you need to have physical interference with your ball, stance, or swing. It might be distracting, and it might even change the next shot you play, but without physical interference, there is no free relief.

Do you get free relief from an immovable obstruction - like a bridge - even though it's in the penalty area? In this case... YES! Just remember, it’s all about where your ball lies, not where the obstruction is located.

If you find your ball embedded in the fringe, you are entitled to free relief. But are you allowed to drop onto the green if it is within one club-length and no closer to the hole? 🤔

Your ball is behind a cart exit sign, are you allowed to move the sign? That depends! If it's easily movable without causing damage, you can simply toss it out of your way. If it's not easily movable, you only get free relief for interference with your lie, stance or swing.

Everyone knows that before playing from a bunker, you're not allowed to touch the sand with your club... ...or can you?! When it comes to loose impediments, you're allowed to remove them without penalty in any way, even with your club.

Golf is about playing it as it lies. If your actions cause your ball to move, even if was a complete accident, it is a one stroke penalty and ball must be replaced. But keep in mind that there is no penalty if this happens in the teeing area or on the putting green!

A lot of golfers get this wrong. Next time you're in a penalty area, remember there are 𝗡𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 on how you play the ball. You can move loose impediments. You can take practice swings that touch the ground. And yes, you can ground your club.

Ever end up in a spot where your normal swing just isn't going to work? You can turn around and play it lefty. And if that happens... free relief rules still apply! The best part? Once you've taken relief, you are NOT required to still use the abnormal swing.

Here's a little known fact about preferred lies... also known as lift, clean and place. Believe it or not, there is NO requirement to mark the spot of the ball before you lift it. This might sound crazy, but this is consistent with all other relief procedures.

This is one of the rarest lies you can get in golf! If your ball is touching the line of both a bunker and a penalty area, which rules apply?

🙅‍♂️ Ewen Cameron: "It is not intentional, that is not unnatural, the ball is too close to him to give a pen!" 😡 Ronnie Charters: "It's a stick on penalty!!" Do you think the Dujon Sterling handball should've been given as a penalty or not?? 🤔

I love how dumb the rules of golf are. You can’t get relief from a divot. But if standing on a sprinkler, you can get relief not only from a divot, but you can also move the ball from the rough to the fairway! Hovland right to do it, but silly rule.

BREAKING: DeSantis hints that he might veto a legislative tax package that includes sales tax relief over property tax relief "Any Florida-last tax package is going to be dead on arrival. We are not going to kneecap our ability to provide you property tax relief just so we can give a little bit of a benefit to Canadian tourists. That is not going to happen. You can take that to the bank." "Is there anyone here that would prefer one quarter of one penny relief to property tax relief?" "I've never seen anything proposed that has so little buy-in. People are not clamoring to give Canadian tourists a tax break."
