Hi this is Kevin hersfield golf seems like such a simple sport I mean you’re hitting a ball and putting it into a hole how hard does that sound right as most of us know it’s a little bit more complicated than that and then you get
Into the mess that is this the rule book of golf there are over a thousand different scenarios in here and many that I bet you didn’t know even existed so we’re here at naaka golf and country club we’re going to talk to headpro Terry Riley and he’s going to show us a
Few of the more obscure golf rules out there all right Terry and I enjoying nice round here at Nia and he’s hit the pin what a shot but what you just did is a two-stroke penalty is it not well I had asked Kevin to attend the flag for
Me and uh Kevin got a little distracted and forgot to pull the pin as my ball was coming towards the hole my pin Ricochet or my golf ball ricocheted off the pin uh didn’t successfully go in but unfortunately I receive a two-stroke penalty my golf ball hit the pin when
Kevin was trying to attend the flag I’m sorry don’t be too mad at me Terry all right don’t be too mad that’s all right Terry’s got a tough uphill putt I’m right by the hole here and Terry’s creamed it and now he’s hit my ball I
Forgot to mark my ball what happens in this situation Terry well in this situation it’s unfortunate for me um I didn’t ask Kevin to mark his ball I thought I was just going to get up there and knock my ball in the hole unfortunately my ball struck
His I play my ball as it lies Kevin gets to move his ball back to where it was before and I receive a two-stroke penley oh I think that puts me ahead in our match now doesn’t it oh Terry what a horrible lie you’ve got there you know what I’m actually a
Left-hander so I think I’ve got a club right here that you could use to hit this shot right so go ahead well this shot does call or is best suited for a left-handed player unfortunately because Kevin is part of my playing group I cannot borrow clubs from Kevin boy terer
We have our good golfers look at these fabulous t- shots right on the Fairway but now but now that I’m looking closer we’re both using Titus one balls they’re not marked I don’t know which ball is which what happens next well the unfortunate situation here is that uh because our golf balls we
Can’t identify them they’re considered a lost golf ball no so what do we do we have so what we got to do is we actually got to now go back to our T and play it like a treat it like a lost ball so we’d be hitting our third shot from the t-
Box and and hopefully we hit the Fairway again and player four shot I can’t believe that a penalty for such an amazing shot golf’s not fair sometimes oh look at this lie what have I done here it’s a wet day my ball is plugged
But I guess as they say play it as it lies right Terry well although a lot of the times the rules kind of hurt your your score but in this situation the rules are going to help you no way um because the golf course is really really
Wet your golf ball has come down on a steep angle and embedded into the ground you have the ability to take that ball out of it out of its pitch mark take your drop no closer to the hole and go ahead and proceed without any pen no penalty involved on
Right on so there you go some of the more obscure rules in this the massive rule book of golf for go wiip Peg I’m Kevin hfield
