Confirmation requested on the location your Ball should be
dropped when your ball comes to rest in the ditch hazard beyond the 16th
Pond.
The answer depends upon the flight of your Ball. The diagram
shows two flights of the Ball
The first crosses the boundary of the pond at point “A” and
enters the ditch from the pond. The penalty drop in this case shall be on the
Line “AA” or from where last played (stroke and Distance).
The second flights the pond and lands on the other side of
the pond then bounces into the lateral hazard at point “B”
First you must be virtually certain the ball landed before
bouncing sideways into the hazard.
As the ball last crossed a boundary of a hazard at point “B”
you may using this point as reference, drop a ball within two club lengths of
“B” (either side of the ditch), not nearer the hole, or play stoke and
distance. If you know your ball landed over the pond but you have not witnesses
your Ball’s entering the lateral hazard, and you are unable to locate your Ball
in the hazard you must assume your ball could be elsewhere in the rough or
hedge “Stroke and distance” is your only option. The Sheriff
