After hitting a ball into a lateral hazard, you have five options:
- Play the ball as it lies, if possible, within the hazard.
- Take a drop within two club lengths of where the ball last crossed the hazard boundary, no closer to the hole.
- Use the point where the ball crossed the hazard to drop back on a line extending from the hole, also no closer to the hole.
- Return to the original spot and replay the shot, incurring a stroke penalty.
- If allowed by local rules, you may declare the ball unplayable and take a drop, with a stroke penalty, either within two club lengths or back on the line from the hole.
