On our course there is a lake which my wife and her girl friends have difficulty driving across, they try but after losing balls galore walk round and drop one the other side. My question is what penalty do they incur, 3 off the tee and then drop one making four or what? Please can you help us out? By the way your magic strokes are brilliant, it's brought my handicap down! Regards Keith Dighton <strong>Barry's Reply:</strong> Keith, I am replying on behalf of Andy Brown and GolfSwingSecretsRevealed.com. Unfortunately, by dropping a ball on the far side of the lake the girls are playing from a wrong place and have to disqualified from any competition. You are right in saying that if their original ball is lost in the lake they may play again from the teeing ground, playing their 3rd stroke. However, there is another option. They may drop a ball at the margin of the water hazard anywhere on a line from the flagstick through the place where their ball last crossed the margin, under penalty of one stroke. In most cases this would mean that there would be much less carry over the water than from the teeing ground. My main recommendation here is that you pass on Andy's four secret magic moves to your wife and her girl friends so that they quickly gain enough confidence and distance to clear the lake every time! Kind Regards Barry Andy.

Great site. I've learnt a lot from the rules questions - there are several rules that I've not really understood until now. Thanks a lot Hi Andy!

Great site. I’ve learnt a lot from the rules questions – there are several rules that I’ve not really understood until now.
