In this video we show you the 4 ways you can take an unplayable lie in the bunker. We explain this golf rule so it is easy to understand.
In short:
A player decides that their ball in a bunker is unplayable. The player has four options:
(1) For one penalty stroke, the player may take stroke-and-distance relief.
(2) For one penalty stroke, the player may take back-on-the-line relief in the bunker.
(3) For one penalty stroke, the player may take lateral relief in the bunker.
(4) For a total of two penalty strokes, the player may take back-on-the-line relief outside the bunker.
Here’s the full USGA Rule:
19.3 Relief Options for Unplayable Ball in Bunker
a. Normal Relief Options (One Penalty Stroke)
When a player’s ball is in a bunker:
The player may take unplayable ball relief for one penalty stroke under any of the options in Rule 19.2, except that:
The ball must be dropped in and come to rest in a in the bunker if the player takes either back-on-the-line relief (see Rule 19.2b) or lateral relief (see Rule 19.2c).
b. Extra Relief Option (Two Penalty Strokes)
As an extra relief option when a player’s ball is in a bunker, for a total of two penalty strokes, the player may take back-on-the-line relief outside the bunker under Rule 19.2b.
See Rule 25.4n (for players who use a wheeled mobility device, Rule 19.2c is modified to expand the lateral relief area to four club-lengths).
Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Rule 19.3: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a.
