There was much anticipation as the final 8 Match Play quarterfinalists assembled at the 1st tee of the Old Course! Another 10 SOS members lined up for a game of Divorced Stableford.
Conditions were reasonable, although occasional showers and stiff winds made the patches of blue sky and warm sun a welcome relief!

Purpose: Rule 19 covers the player’s several options
for an unplayable ball.
DIAGRAM : RELIEF OPTIONS FOR BALL UNPLAYABLE IN GENERAL AREA
A
player decides that his or her ball in a bush is unplayable.
The
player has three options, in each case adding one penalty stroke:
(1)
The player may take stroke-and-distance relief by playing the original ball or
another ball from a relief area based on where the previous stroke was made
(see Rule 14.6 and Diagram 14.6).
(2)
The player may take back-on-the-line relief by dropping the original ball or
another ball in a relief area based on a reference line going straight back
from the hole through the spot of the original ball. The reference point is a
point on the course chosen by the player that is on the reference line and is
farther from the hole than the spot of the original ball. There is no limit on
how far back on the line the reference point may be. The relief area is one
club-length from the reference point, is not nearer to the hole than the
reference point and may be in any area of the course. In choosing this
reference point, the player should indicate the point by using an object (such
as a tee).
(3)
The player may take lateral relief. The reference point is the spot of the
original ball. The relief area is two club-lengths from the reference point, is
not nearer to the hole than the reference point and may be in any area of the
course.
R and A Rule 19 is reproduced below for those interested in the precise wording of Rule 19.
Player May Decide to Take Unplayable Ball Relief Anywhere Except Penalty Area
A player is the only person who may decide to treat his or her ball as unplayable by taking penalty relief under Rule 19.2 or 19.3.
- Unplayable
ball relief is allowed anywhere on the course, except in
a penalty area.
- If a ball
is unplayable in a penalty area, the player’s only relief option is
to take penalty relief under Rule 17.
19.2
Relief Options
for Unplayable Ball in General Area or on Putting Green
A
player may take unplayable ball relief using one of the three options in
Rule 19.2a, b or c, in
each case adding one
penalty stroke.
- The
player may take stroke-and-distance relief under Rule
19.2a even if the original ball has not been found and
identified.
- But to
take back-on-the-line relief under Rule
19.2b or lateral relief under Rule
19.2c, the player must know the spot of the original ball.
a
Stroke-and-Distance
Relief
The
player may play the original ball or another ball from where the
previous stroke was made (see Rule 14.6).
b
Back-on-the-Line
Relief
The
player may drop the original ball or another ball (see Rule 14.3)
in a relief area that is based on a reference line going straight
back from the hole through the spot of the original ball:
- Reference Point: A point
on the course chosen by the player that is on the reference line
and is farther from the hole than the spot of the original ball
(with no limit on how far back on the line):
- In
choosing this point, the player should indicate the point by using an
object (such as a tee).
- If the
player drops the ball without having chosen this point, the
reference point is treated as being the point on the line that is the
same distance from the hole as where the dropped ball
first touched the ground.
- Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference
Point: One club-length, but with these
limits:
- Limits on Location of Relief Area:
- Must not
be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
- May be
in any area of the course, but
- If more
than one area of the course is located within
one club-length of the reference point, the ball must come to
rest in the relief area in the same area of the
course that the ball first touched when dropped in
the relief area.
c
Lateral Relief
The
player may drop the original ball or another ball in this
lateral relief area (see Rule 14.3):
- Reference Point: The
spot of the original ball.
- Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference
Point: Two club-lengths, but with these
limits:
- Limits on Location of Relief Area:
- Must not
be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
- May be
in any area of the course, but
- If more
than one area of the course is located within
two club-lengths of the reference point, the ball must come to
rest in the relief area in the same area of the
course that the ball first touched when dropped in
the relief area.
Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach
of Rule 19.2: General Penalty under Rule 14.7a.
