Rules - 13 holes and hour with potty and food breaks, that is a nice clip, you
must have lapped several golfers. Well done for a great cause.
Thanks for the rules explanation, I get it now.

People,
Sorry I didn't get to this earlier. I was playing the Big Brothers/Big
Sisters Golf Marathon. Made it through 132 holes in 10 hours, by the way.
I watched the video. The speaker did not declare an unplayable lie. He
talks about it, but in the end he said he decided to replay from as near as
possible to his previous stroke, and took a penalty of stroke and distance.
This is Rule 27-1.
If he had declared an unplayable lie (a player may declare an unplayable
lie for any lie) at a penalty of one stroke, he could drop his ball no closer
to the hole than where it was. He could have dropped his ball within two club
lengths, no closer to the hole. Alternatively, he could have chosen to drop
along his intended line from the ball to hole as far back, but no closer to
the hole, as he wanted, assuming he did not drop out of bounds.
Divot should remember this rule well, as I explained it to him when he was
in the bushes at Royal Links in Las Vegas. He moved his ball near a fairway
where he had a play.

Hmmm...who defines what an unplayable lie is?

Rules, how come you didn’t let me know about this??? J By the way, my
version of the “flop shot” he speaks of is to fall back into the water when
attempting a chip shot from the edge…
