Out of Bound.

I'm sure some of you do this.... What happen if you hit a ball and went in out of bound? Are you ( after cursing around) take a second shot near the place which the first stoke has been made?

It is common that golfer will drop the ball near the area where their first ball went out of bound( OB). They are to lazy to hit a provisional ball (with a penalty stroke) and also too lazy to go back to the original place which the shot was made when they confirmed that the first ball went OB.

According to rule 27-1, the players receives an additional two penalty strokes in stroke play, or loss of hole in match play. In stroke play, golfer must go back to the spot where the last spot where the ball was hit from and went to OB and then continue to play. In a competition, if a golfer does not go back and play from the original spot before continue the next hole, the organiser is able to disqualify the said golfer.

So, next time when you are playing with your boss, make sure he follow the rule of golf!!!!!
