Golf Digest’s Best Young Teacher in America, Gavin Parker, breaks down USGA Rule 15.2a and how to take free relief from a cart path the right way. Find the nearest point off the path, drop within one club length (no closer to the hole), and keep your round penalty-free.

[Music] let’s say you find yourself on the cart path You don’t have to play it from here You’re allowed relief Now this relief is very interesting You cannot move closer to the hole So from where I am here I’m going to find a point where I can get a stance Once I have established that stance okay I’m gonna mark it As long as I drop my ball somewhere in this vicinity Okay notice I dropped it Got back on the cart path I’m going to drop it again Now this time if I drop it and it moves again on the cart path I’m now allowed to place it So here we go We’re going to drop it again Once again it rolled to the cart path It hit the ground right here So now I may place it Balls in play [Music]
