Golf Rules That Make No Sense (Until You Understand Why)

Описание: Some golf rules seem completely ridiculous — until you understand why they exist. Why do you have to take stroke-and-distance for a lost ball? Why drop from knee height? Why can’t you ground your club in a bunker? And what’s the deal with not getting relief from a fairway divot?

In this video, we break down the weirdest golf rules and explain the logic behind them in simple terms. You’ll learn why these confusing rules were created, how they protect fairness and integrity, and what recent rule changes (like the 2019 updates) actually mean for your game.

We cover:
• Stroke-and-distance vs Model Local Rule E-5
• Knee-height drops explained
• Bunker grounding rules
• Playing the ball as it lies (even in a divot)
• The updated flagstick rule
• Advice rules and the “one ball” rule
• Relief procedures and nearest point of relief
• Differences between stroke play and match play penalties

Golf’s rulebook isn’t random — it’s designed to keep the game fair, consistent, and honest. Once you understand the “why,” even the strangest rules start to make sense.

If you’ve ever been confused on the course or argued about a ruling with your buddies, this video will clear it up.
