Same as if your ball is close to a fence or wall that designates OB and you can't take a stance.
Or hit it left-handed:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

By "put it back where you hit it", I assume you mean back where I hit the shot that got me into the trap?

Without looking, pretty sure I can do that by declaring an unplayable lie. Of course it is stroke and distance...

I used to know the rules and even enjoyed reading decisions, but not so much any longer...

Our neighborhood group allows a player one "mulligan" per round, for instance. Who cares? None of us is maintaining or establishing an official handicap, by the way.
It doesn't have to be just an "officially sanctioned tournament."

In the weekly groups I play with (championship courses) you must have a GHIN index, which is only accurate...by playing by the rules. :shrug:
