Have had many requests to Hn'ify the new out. of. bounds nije. so here goes: If your first shot goes out of bounds, you lose tne distance only. For instance, if you should hit your toe shot out of bounds (Heaven forbid) you would tee up another ball and you would be shooting 2 off the tee (instead of 3 as in the past few years).

If yt>u later discover that your first ball was not acun'iy cut of bounds, you are compelled to continue play with the first, ball regardless of the advantage of playing the provisional ball.
