Golf rules can be hard sometimes and sometimes they are easy. How to take a free drop in golf is simple. Drop it from knee height. But do it correctly. In this golf rules video I’m dropping the ball improperly because I am putting spin on the golf ball. This is not allowed.
According to the USGA:
You must drop a ball in the “right way,” which means that you drop it from knee height, you don’t influence how the ball will come to rest (such as by spinning the ball), and your ball doesn’t touch your body or equipment before it hits the ground (see Rule 14.3b).
USGA Golf Rule 14.3b
b. Ball Must Be Dropped in Right Way
The player must drop a ball in the right way, which means all three of these things:
(1) Player Must Drop Ball. The ball must be dropped only by the player. Neither the player’s caddie nor anyone else may do so.
(2) Ball Must Be Dropped Straight Down from Knee Height Without Touching Player or Equipment. The player must let go of the ball from a location at knee height so that the ball:
Falls straight down, without the player throwing, spinning or rolling it or using any other motion that might affect where the ball will come to rest, and
Does not touch any part of the player’s body or equipment before it hits the ground.
“Knee height” means the height of the player’s knee when in a standing position.
