Video Description
In this video, Neil Tappin is joined by resident rules expert Fergus Bisset to run through the 5 rules mistakes that will cost you a one-shot penalty. These would be classed as relatively minor breaches where it wouldn’t seem like you’re gaining a massive advantage over the field, yet they do still unfortunately incur a penalty under the rules so be sure to watch them all to make sure you don’t have to add any unwanted shots to your scorecard.

there is some dirt on the ball and it falls off while picking up the ball to check for damages. Do you get a one shot penalty even when you put some dirt back on the ball?
I’ll tell you what’s worse that 3 off the tee, when you paid for YouTube premium so you don’t have to watch adds only to have find yet another YouTuber promoting Hello Fresh! halfway through the video😩 good video still 👍
I miss Jez!
11:45 one shot penalty but you are 200+ back from where it’s gone out, so by the time you hit to where it would of been you’ll be hitting 4, that’s why it that bad, should really be 2 off the tee, but I don’t make the rules.
When golf balls stopped using balata covers, cuts on thin shots really stopped happening.
I don't understand why the high drop incurs a penalty. A low drop actually allows you an easier time optimizing the lie after the drop, so it's not like dropping from and extended arm gains and advantage.
Referring to the penalty for accidentally touching the ball in play on the fairway etc. Does the same rule apply when on the green? I thought that if you were not actually playing a stroke, it did not?!
Am I correct in thinking that in the first scenario, if there was dirt on the back of your ball, that you can actually rotate it when it’s replaced so you are not hitting the mud?
This video highlights the silliness of the rules of golf.
What about multiple provisional balls?
Scenario: Chronic slicer shanks his tee shot towards out of bounds into the woods. He hits an almost identical provisional shot. He hits a second almost identical provisional shot. He walks up to the area and finds only his second provisional ball in bounds. He is hitting his sixth shot, correct?
Question to first situation. What if the ball is damaged? Is there free replacement? What constitutes damage ? Striking a tree or a cart path will have impact but again, is this considered damaged? Of course, all of this goes back to the relief. Thanks
Why the stupid background music 🤬
