The USGA is a nonprofit organization that celebrates, serves and advances the game of golf. Founded in 1894, we conduct many of golf’s premier professional and amateur championships, including the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open. With The R&A, we govern the sport via a global set of playing, equipment, handicapping and amateur status rules. The USGA campus in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, is home to the Association’s Research and Test Center, where science and innovation are fueling a healthy and sustainable game for the future. The campus is also home to the USGA Golf Museum, where we honor the game by curating the world’s most comprehensive archive of golf artifacts. To learn more, visit https://www.usga.org.

My buddies get crazy when I tell them they can't drop and say "hitting three" from where it went into the woods. The local rule is lying three hitting four.
playing golf and has rules question "Hey, I wonder what the official rule on this is?" "Check the offical USGA youtube channel!" checks "Hey there are convenient short videos on my exact question!" watches video "So what does the USGA say about it?" "I literally have no idea"
I have so many remaining questions after watching these videos… So how many penalty strokes is each situation? I'm so confused
So if I hit a ball, say 200+ yards, that I know is nowhere near out of bounds, but the ball can't be found, I would have to go back and rehit from where I originally made the stroke, 200+ yards back? That can really mess up pace of play. Aren't we allowed, as non pro's, and not being in a tournament, to take the distance and drop where we think the ball was lost, and take just a one stroke penalty instead?
If your ball turns out to be an inch out of bounds… walk back to the tee and slow down play as much as possible ????
“Stroke and distance” please come up with a better phrase to describe your outdated rules.
Out of bounds rule and all penalty strokes need to be simplified
Thanks for not explaining how many strokes you are penalized for each situation

When the ball is close to the 0B line defined by stakes you can't determine in or out from the balll. Go beyond one of the stakes and look down the line to the other stake. It will allow you to see the ball in or out.

This literally helped no one
Isn’t that a old rule?
Holy fuck old mate must take 40 provisional shots per game. Stick to the range for a while before you hold eveyone up at the course hahaha
