The leaf rule ⛳️👀🤯 Comment if your course does or doesn’t allow this rule 🥶 #golf #golftips
Georgia Ball explains the controversial 'Leaf Rule' in golf, which can allow for a penalty-free drop if a ball is lost under leaves. She emphasizes that this is a local rule and players must verify its validity at their specific course before applying it. The video outlines the criteria for the rule, including certainty of the ball's location and ensuring it is not in a hazard or out of bounds.
The Leaf Rule allows for a penalty-free drop if you are certain your ball landed in an area covered by leaves but cannot find it.
This is a seasonal local rule, not a permanent part of the official Rules of Golf; always check the scorecard or pro shop.
You must be adamant with your playing partners that the ball is in the leaf-covered area and not out of bounds or in a water hazard.
When applicable, the drop must be taken at the spot where the ball likely landed, no closer to the hole.
