Dropping Zones
Purpose. A dropping zone is a special form of relief area that may be adopted by the Committee. When taking relief in a dropping zone, the player must drop the ball in and have it come to rest in the dropping zone. Dropping zones should be considered when there may be practical problems in requiring players to use the normal relief options under a Rule, such as:
Rule 13.1f – Wrong Green.
Rule 16.1 – Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions).
Rule 16.2 – Dangerous Animal Condition.
Rule 17 – Penalty Areas.
Rule 19 – Unplayable Ball.
Model Local Rules E-5 – Alternative to Stroke and Distance for Ball Lost or Ball Out of Bounds or
F-23 – Temporary Immovable Obstructions.
The following points apply when dropping a ball in a dropping zone:
The player does not have to stand in the dropping zone when dropping the ball.
When a player is using a dropping zone, the relief area is defined by that dropping zone and the ball must be dropped in and come to rest in the dropping zone (see Rule 14.3).
If the dropping zone is defined by a line on the ground, the line is inside the dropping zone.
