Lifting and Returning a Ball to Play - Rule 14

This episode covers some of the most basic, yet most important, parts of the Rules - how to keep a ball in play and get a score.   When playing golf, if we never touch the ball from the time we play from the teeing ground into the hole, the game is very simple.  In fact, we would need very few rules if that always were the case.  However, there are many reasons we get the ball into our hands, some with penalty, some without.  Rule 14 tells us the very basics to lifting the ball and, more importantly, how to get it back onto the course and "in play" so that we can continue playing and get a score for the hole.   Take time to listen as Doug goes through the Rule and the different parts so that you can always have a score for each hole.  NOTE: Aside from the Definitions, Doug feels this is the most important Rule; thus, you may want to listen multiple times to be sure you have grasped the important concepts.

Rule 23: Four-Ball Play

No doubt, virtually all of us who are beyond the beginners stage have played a Four-Ball competition of some sort.  Often referred to as "Best Ball," this pits two players against two other players in a match or stroke play.  But, this format by its unique nature, can have some unique circumstances arise.  How do the Rules deal with these?  In many cases, Rules 1-20 are sufficient, but not always.  Thus, Rule 23 tells us what to do in those situations in which Rules 1-20 do not give us an answer.  Enjoy ... and don't be surprised to find that you learned more than you anticipated.
