Rule 28 Ball Unplayable

The following are options available to a player when taking an unplayable lie:

a. Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the previous shot was hit; or
b. Drop a ball behind the spot where the ball currently is, keeping the flagstick and that spot on a straight line and dropping a ball as far back as you would like to go; or
c. Drop a ball within two club lengths of where the ball currently is, no closer to the hole
