Inside the Rules
Every two weeks MGA Senior Director of Rules and Competitions Gene Westmoreland will answer one question posed by the readers of the MGA e-Revision Newsletter (click here to sign up). Jim from Westchester County, N.Y., asked Gene the following Rules question:
“A golfer hits a shot and it comes to rest right in the middle of an out of bounds line or marking. Is the golf ball in play or out of bounds?”
Gene responds:
Hello, Jim: If any part of the ball is “in bounds,” the ball is in bounds. So if you stretched a string from the inside edge of two out of bounds stakes (at ground level) and the string split the middle of the ball the ball would be “in.”
