Re: Rules Question - Water Hazards and OB
OB and lost ball is re-tee.
There are two kinds of water hazards yellow(Water) and red(Lateral). Yellow hazards you must keep the line of your point of entry and the pin. You can go as far back as you want to, including you have the OPTION to re-tee. Red hazards you have those same options but you can also drop within two club-lengths either side of the hazard not nearer the hole. Also in many tournaments and indeed on many holes at local member clubs, they will employ a Drop Zone. I believe 17 at Sawgrass they use a DZ, in which case you would have that as a third option to keeping the pin in line and re-teeing.
Edit.....^^someone smarter than me, why did I type that out, that's what Google is for.
