Rules Guy: If I play from the wrong tees, can I correct the mistake without penalty?

Rules Guy: If I play from the wrong tees, can I correct the mistake without penalty?

According to golf rules, teeing off from an incorrect position during match play results in a two-stroke penalty for the offending player. However, a new clarification issued by the Rules Guy states that players who recognize the error before making their stroke may correct it without penalty. The correction must be made before the player leaves the teeing ground, and the corrected tee shot must be played from the correct teeing ground. This clarification aligns with the overall principle of fairness in the game of golf, ensuring that inadvertent errors do not have excessive consequences.

Matt Kuchar’s explanation, Golf’s Olympic miracle, nightmare 8 | Monday Finish

Matt Kuchar, Team USA’s ‘fourth’ golfer, lived up to the ‘anything can happen’ mantra of Olympic sports. The veteran pro, a non-qualifier who was added to the roster due to withdrawals, crafted a dramatic bronze-medal finish in Tokyo.

Kuchar started the final round nine shots adrift of eventual gold medalist Xander Schauffele but carded an Olympic course-record 63, which included a 12-foot eagle putt on 18 to secure a tie for third with Sebastian Munoz of Colombia.

In this exclusive chat with Bob Harig, Kuchar takes us inside his wild Olympic experience, how he dealt with the crushing disappointment of missing the original cut, the roller coaster of playing inside the ropes and about meeting Team USA swimmer Caeleb Dressel, who won five gold medals in Tokyo.

Collin Morikawa delivers 3 tips to hit spinny wedge shots from 50 yards

Collin Morikawa delivers 3 tips to hit spinny wedge shots from 50 yards

Collin Morikawa made quick work of some of the most difficult greens in golf during the recent Players Championship.

Known for his ability to hit firm, high-spinning wedge shots at will, Morikawa sat down with Golf Digest to share his tips for playing approach shots from 50 yards and in.

“First, open the clubface and make sure to have a lot of loft,” Morikawa says. “Then, make a steep swing and hit slightly behind the ball to generate spin.”

Lastly, he says to make sure you’re not afraid to take chances. “The best players are the ones who are willing to go for things and make some mistakes,” he says. “If you’re always playing it safe, you’re not going to get the best results.”

If you can use a shovel, you can hit a golf ball. Here’s why

Golf is often seen as a difficult sport to learn, but a new study suggests that it may not be as hard as you think.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh found that people who had never played golf before were able to hit the ball an average of 100 yards after just a few minutes of instruction. The key, the researchers say, is to use a “shovel swing.”

This swing is similar to the one you use to dig a hole, and it involves using the large muscles in your arms and shoulders to generate power.

The researchers believe that the shovel swing is a good way to learn golf because it is natural and easy to master.

They hope that their findings will encourage more people to give golf a try.
