That’s an interesting ruling. One that may come in handy sometime.
But then this one totally blew my mind!

What’s being lost on the first video though is that you can take stroke and distance at any time according to the USGA, not just when one putts into a bunker hahaI wasn’t aware of that. I can’t recall putting into a trap but that makes a ton of sense.
My sand play was so bad a couple of years ago that I thought about taking unplayable lies at times and dropping outside the bunker Which comes with a 2 stroke penalty.

This is where the rule book app is the best.I did get that. If I am ever in that situation where I putt off the green into a bunker like that I would definitely take the stroke and distance. You would likely have a hard time convincing your partners that it is within the rules.
I knew the stroke and distance one long ago but wasn’t aware of this crazy rule!That's crazy..............don't think I would ever try that trick out.
What happened?2005 Tiger Woods (13th at Augusta) begs to differ.
What happened?
Not sure it has to stay in play. I thought you could use it anywhere at pretty much any time.No, has to have stayed in play.
Fair enough. I thought I read something about it needing to be in the course of play but maybe I’m misinterpreting that.Not sure it has to stay in play. I thought you could use it anywhere at pretty much any time.
18.1 Relief Under Penalty of Stroke and Distance Allowed at Any Time
At any time, a player may take stroke-and-distance relief by adding one penalty stroke and playing the original ball or another ball from where the previous stroke was made (see Rule 14.6).
The player always has this stroke-and-distance relief option:
- No matter where the player’s ball is on the course, and
- Even when a Rule requires the player to take relief in a certain way or to play a ball from a certain place.
I think it was a guy putting off a green and into a bunker that used Rule 18.1 for the next shot.View attachment 9347301
I'm reading the replies and this sound very interesting. Unfortunately I can't see what it says. Is this the 18.1 rule in video format?
You could yes. Anytime you hit into a penalty area, you can choose to replay the shot from the previous spot.Why isn't this done more. Does it work if you putt into water?

This is where I amI’m 100% using it at some point just to break minds.
