đź“– RULE 17.1d(3) Lateral Relief (Only for Red Penalty Area).
When the ball last crossed the edge of a red penalty area, the player may drop the original ball or another ball in this lateral relief area (see Rule 14.3):
Reference Point: The estimated point where the original ball last crossed the edge of the red penalty area.
Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: Two club-lengths, but with these limits:
Limits on Location of Relief Area:
-- Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
-- May be in any area of the course except the same penalty area, but
-- If more than one area of the course is located within two club-lengths of the reference point, the ball must come to rest in the relief area in the same area of the course that the ball first touched when dropped in the relief area.
đź“– RULE 16: Relief from Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)
16.1b: Relief for Ball in the General Area
If a player’s ball is in the general area and there is interference by an abnormal course condition on the course, the player may take free relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in this relief area (see Rule 14.3):
Reference Point: The nearest point of complete relief in the general area.
Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: One club-length, but with these limits:
Limits on Location of Relief Area:
-- Must be in the general area,
-- Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
-- There must be complete relief from all interference by the abnormal course condi

Awesome job Jay! Love this video. You’ll never believe but my daughter scored an albatross in her US Kids tour championship last Sunday. A deuce on a 350 yard par 5 (age appropriate yardage). She’s 11! 495th amateur to sink a double eagle in tourney play. We (the dad caddies) appreciate all these videos my man!

Great video, well explained. Because you explain things carefully throughout, it does take 5 minutes to make the next shot, so in future, it would be lovely to finish with a 'real time' series of steps to show that it can be done in about 45 seconds!
-
Thank you for providing such clear details and the step-by-step explanation for taking the drops from the penalty area.
-
Thank you! I have been asking the USGA to have videos on every rule for years and its happening! You do an amazing job! It is so much easier to "show" relief and the relief area with your easy to understand videos!! Amazing!
-
I like that you give enough explanation so that the lesson sticks in the brain, without going too on long or just giving the basic answers. Your instruction videos really are exactly that, instructional. Thank you again Jay
-
Perfect video. Just had this exact situation booth one of my high school golfer. I was not sure about the drop from the cart path so he dropped a ball back to the nearest relief instead of this option. I’m going to show him this video at practice. Thanks!

Found your channel and love it! The explanations and videos are most helpful in understanding the rules!

Great job Jay! Good explanation!

Excellent explanation !

Excellent. Thank you!

Just brilliant. Your explanation is so clear it almost makes the rules seem uncomplicated.
-
Thank you for your knowledge.

Wow, this is the most understandable definition and instruction of one of the most complicated scenarios/rules of golf. 5 out of 5 stars, Jay. Thank you

Hi Jay - on Fraser's call this morning, he suggested I view your videos. Nice job!! Only 1 comment. Like you, I like proper terminology as I think it really helps people who are newer to the Rules. Please use Nearest Point of Complete Relief instead of Nearest Point of Relief. Like "hazard," NPR is an old term replaced by NPCR. Best wishes on a great concept. Jerry Glover

Great explanation. Thanks.

Only just found this channel! Excellent!
-
plz keep making these video s great info

Very good explanation….in videos that I have seen in cart path relief, they always mark relief taken from both sides of the cart path choosing the relief spot that is closest to the position of the ball on the path. Also, the club used for the relief point is the one used for the next shot. The driver is then used to mark the relief area.

Thanks for splaning

Good to know! Thanks Jay.
