Golf Rules of interest

10/23/2018

I have been asked to check out two rules.

1. Can one move a ball within a bunker (or on a fairway) when it lands in a deep divot made by an animal’s footprint? The answer is no! However, you can move the ball if a hole is made by a burrowing animal.

2. Can one use a driver on the fairway? The answer is yes! One can use a driver anywhere on the golf course including the green. One can use any club anywhere on the golf course.
