Master The Rules

As it's the beggining of Major Madness we've dug out a letter we received from a Irish fellow with big plans for the weekend.

Dear Candice:
Although we don’t get many snakes up here, I wondered what the rules are when you find your ball near to one them? I’m playing golf out in Georgia today, and would rather not take any unnecessary risks!
Padraig, Ballyroan, Dublin.



Candice says:
You must take your golf seriously if you’d consider upsetting a snake to get your birdie Padraig. The good news is that in this situation (or any other dangerous one – bears, bees etc) it would be deemed unreasonable to expect you to play the shot, and you would be entitled to a free drop, which should be taken in accordance with the usual rules. There are a lot of snakes in Georgia so we’d advise not going into the rough, and having a peek in the hole before retrieving your ball. If you’re in an area you’re not sure about, tap the ground with your club and the vibrations should send any lurking serpents slithering away, and don’t bother shouting ‘fore’ – they don’t have ears.
