The rules should be #1. 3ft of relief around all trees and shrubs. #2. Any impediment below, infront or behind the ball, can be removed as long as you mark the ball first. #3. Any ball in a divot or depression lower than the surrounding turf is a free drop within 2 ft behind the ball. #4. All drop balls should be from ankle height. #5. Hitting the flag stick from off the green is an automatic hole out. 😂😂😂
I don't know about the strangest golf rules but the worst golf rule is without a doubt the rule that one must play out of a fairway divot. Surely it's sensible that a divot should be classed as ground under repair and thus relief should be granted. One should not be randomly penalized because another golfer failed to repair their divot.
Issue is how could you classify what is and what isn't a divot cause if the ball was just sitting a little low in the fairway could that potentially mean it's in a divot and the ground is still under repair?
Great video. The rules of golf are fantastic. I was going through some with a non golfing friend, and he couldn't believe what I was telling him. I would love a box of white balls 🫰
Nice video, backing up that you can't make assumptions when you're in a competition. I hope the banana skin was remove from the general area (bushes or home) 😁 I would like to try the striped ball.
For those of who you argue "the rules are so stupid, just use common sense," this video is the perfect example of why writing rules is an extremely difficult task - because golf contains so many crazy situations. Sure, in your weekend game with your buddies, do whatever makes sense and makes the game fun. Nobody cares. But I can assure you in an Open qualifier or other high-level competition, every single participant cares that every single other participant has to follow the exact same set of rules, and even the smallest bit of relief or non-relief can make an enormous difference.
Here's something that has just occurred to me, is there anything in the rules to stop you from using one hand to hold a ball in place while removing loose impediments with the other? Also if a ball is covered by a loose impediment (like a banana peel) which is preventing identification of the ball, if the ball is marked and lifted to identify it can the loose impediment be removed at the same time?
9.4b If the player lifts or deliberately touches their ball at rest or causes it to move, the player get one penalty stroke. You are allowed to identify your ball. If its in the banana peel you can lift the ball and identify it, but you will have to place it at the peel again. (15.1a)
With our quota group, we are very laxed with some of these rules. The one rules I hate is in the bunker, your ball comes to rest in a foot print because one of the groups in front of you don't take the time to rake the bunker and your ball comes to rest in the foot print and you have a foot wall of sand behind your ball. I can understand a waste bunker but a green side bunker is usually where it happens. 🤬🤬🤬
RUclips’s newest double act. 😂 Never laughed so much at a rules video. . . . scratch that, don’t think I’ve laughed so much at any golf video Should make the tules memorable, at least! More like this, please? Meanwhile, in the unlikely event that my name should come out of the proverbial hat on Christmas day, I’d like some stripey ones, please. 😎
All these situations arose because of a bad shot beforehand - why do golfers then expect a free get out of jail? Even if the scenarios are borderline and a lot are dictated by the committee actually caring to consider them…interesting detailed insight…Taylormade Response Striped please 🙏🏻 lovely golf balls.
That spirit level ball marker seems a waste of money. Its the slope between the ball and the hole that’s the issue rather than the slope where the ball rests
If they're not on the scorecard - and you're right they can't cover them all (especially temporary rules for winter), you'll usually find them on a board in the locker room or around the course. At my club, they're on a big notice board close to the 1st tee. Sometimes you can find them on a club website too.
Dunno what was in that drinks bottle but it lead to what must be the biggest missed putt ever ! All the way from frosty England to Sunny La Cala ! Did you click the heels of your golf shoes three times ? Do I collect My plain Taylormades at La Cala ?
If they're stacked on top of each other, if they're ordered and not just strewn about, if they're obviously not abandoned. You'd hope the club would be on the ball if there is maintenance going on and they'd put a Local Rule in to cater for this situation.
@SteveCarroll77 ... and yet in the video, he spoke about a situation where the stuff was "obviously stacked and ready to be taken away", and it turned out to not be the case. Sometimes stuff is stacked just to be neat, and not specifically for removal. So, again, how _exactly_ are we supposed to know?
@@interestedbystander196 Either your club will tell you, or you've got to use your best judgement. There are lots of things in the rules that just come down to player integrity. The 'he' in the video is me, btw :)
@SteveCarroll77 Hi Steve. That's even more to the point then, don't you think? _You_ were in a situation where you didn't know, and it hadn't been clarified by the club beforehand, and the guy phoned you, and you happened to have access to a committee member just then, and he confirmed it was not piled for later removal. So, one pile of stuff, one golfer, one phone call, one Steve, one luckily placed committee member ... and people complain about pace of play. Like you said, integrity comes into it. I'd confer with my playing partner on the spot, and we'd agree to take relief, I reckon. If we didn't agree to relief, they would not be my playing partner again. But then, we only play recreational golf, not comps.
The banana peel is a natural object but a banana sandwich is an artificial object, which which relief would be obtainable. It's often impossible to determine whether material has been piled for removal. The worst rule in golf in terms of clarity. Ruts are a close second. The way in which clubs publish and review local rules is deplorable. No relief from tree stumps.

always a learning experience when discussing rules, thank you,
always useful to refresh yourself on the rules... Stripped balls are good 👍
The stripe balls look great and help alignment.
Definitelty the stripe version. Helps so much with alignment and roll when putting.
Love the video and channel. I definitely prefer the plain, non-stripe version taylormade ball.
Love the take on rules. Striped response for me, love to see the perfect roll on the green, even if it doesn’t go into the hole! 😂
Great video. The rules of golf are fantastic. I was going through some with a non golfing friend, and he couldn't believe what I was telling him. I would love a box of white balls 🫰
Great video, some of the guys at my club should watch this. Striped balls
Great video content.
Stripe please.
Keep up the great work!!
just discovered your channel looks good so far. like tour response stripe.
Great video, thanks you! The plain ball please
The stripe ball looks great!
5:42 - I presume you can, as long as you are actually able to do this, use a left-handed club and stand the other side of the ball?
Striped please..... great video, good information.👍
What a clever video!! (Plain ball)
Love the new TP5 stripe
I would love the plainball (Non Stripe) please 👍
Nice video, backing up that you can't make assumptions when you're in a competition.
I hope the banana skin was remove from the general area (bushes or home) 😁
I would like to try the striped ball.
I live down here on Grand Cayman and there are Coconuts all over the course! Much love and play on! 🇰🇾
love the stripe ball , use them all the time
Definitely prefer the striped version

I was about to buy one of those chips with the level too
I just bought a ball marker with a bubble level..........guess I can only use it on the putting green
Stripped works good :)

@tombrcherjakobsengolf201 many thanks for the reply and clarification.
Like the stripeball
I like the stripe balls. I play with a buddy that always steps on the bushes so now I know

Stripe balls , playing on our links course we have lots of gorse so that is a helpful rule

Striped ball if I'm lucky please.Thanks
striped look funky ... the stripe is too wide. prefer solid
Prefer when striped 👍
How do we know what all these local rules are. Surely the rules on the card can't cover all these rules?
If they're not on the scorecard - and you're right they can't cover them all (especially temporary rules for winter), you'll usually find them on a board in the locker room or around the course. At my club, they're on a big notice board close to the 1st tee. Sometimes you can find them on a club website too.
Stripe please👍😁👍
What if the banana peel has a sticker on it? lol
I’ll take the stripe ball please!
Dunno what was in that drinks bottle but it lead to what must be the biggest missed putt ever !
All the way from frosty England to Sunny La Cala !
Did you click the heels of your golf shoes three times ?
Do I collect My plain Taylormades at La Cala ?
Stripey ball all day 👍😊
Some very interesting obscure.... less known..... rules. Stripped balls all the way.
I have warmed to the stripped ball, eventually
Stripe ball works for me...
The stripe ball
Plain please
Tour response striped.
I love playing this game. What a stupid game.
"They're obviously piled. They're going to be taken somewhere."
Well, how do you know? And how are you supposed to know?
If they're stacked on top of each other, if they're ordered and not just strewn about, if they're obviously not abandoned. You'd hope the club would be on the ball if there is maintenance going on and they'd put a Local Rule in to cater for this situation.

99% of us- i think we’re ok with not playing these rules lol
Stripey ball, always!
Striped version please
Stripe please
