- How is out of bounds defined and how can you identify if a golf ball is out of bounds?
I met up with PGA Rules Professional Dave Rishworth to find out and to discuss how and when to play a provisional golf ball.

Hit a provisional short of your first tee shot, then lose your provisional next shot and hit another provisional, lose that one and pick up, stick a blob down and move on to the next hole is how I'd play it myself.
Excellent videos.
When I first joined a golf club I had to play a round with the handicap Secretary. He asked me loads of questions as we went round, one of which was “when is a ball out of bounds?” Well I came up with answers like the ball is outside the boundary of the course, in an area marked as out of bounds etc. after every answer he’d tell me no, then asked the question again. I eventually gave up and asked him to explain. “A ball is out of bounds” he said, “when the whole of the ball is out of bounds.” 🙄
Unfortunately the game is full of people like your handicap secretary.
What do you do when the stakes are so far apart, and you’re ball is in the middle? This happened to me, and if we looked at one stake, the ball looked in, but from the other, it looked out. The stakes were roughly 70 yards apart. How do you determine if you’re in play in this scenario?
Oh my!!!! How do you carry that huge bag for a full round???? That bag would completely destroy me 😀
Trolley 😂

Very clear 👍🏻
Glad you think so!
Brilliant Hannah another fantastic rules video.
Bag looks fantastic 👍
Great golf bag 🙌🏻
Look at diagram 18.2a in rules
You say on the line surely that is wrong ? Out of bounds is defined as the course side of the line not the line itself - meaning the ball can be on a white line behind the course side edge and this will be OOB even though it is still on the white line so this definition is surely wrong!
Not quite; the ball can be “on the line” but as long as any part of the ball remains inside the course-side boundary it remains in play.
Hit a provisional that landed on the GIR and laughed hysterically while the other 3 in my foursome were enthusiastically searching for my original ball. They really wanted to find it!
Omg golf rules are the absolute worst lol. To much going on just draw some white lines down the out of bounds area instead of guessing and waisting by Time putting down tee pegs. Every other sport has a defined out of bounce except golf. We all know those stakes are not in a perfect line.
You do know that grass gets mowed, right? When that happens, bye bye paint. Imagine the maintenance of repainting thousands of yards of lines on a more-than-weekly basis. In an ideal world, yes, OB would have painted lines, but the reality is that it’s not feasible. Also, situations like these are quite rare, so you also have to factor in return on investment-that’s a lot of time and money spent for an occasional player to save a few seconds of time.
Thanks - shared this with my Seniors colleagues as there’s been some debate over recent weeks about OB 🏌🏻♂️
