Rules regarding hole 16th and hazards/drops etc


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.
