Hi All
Just double checking is this included in the rules now or does this have be made a local rule, , i thought it had to be a LR

We have to play over water a good few times where due to crossing points / bridges etc it would make alot of sence to hit a provisional and then check .

Thanks in advance
Bill

The rules do not permit a provisional to be played if a ball may only be lost in a penalty area. Model Local Rule B-3 needs to be in place to permit this action.

Further to this, if it is known that the original ball is in the penalty area, the Local Rule is not applicable, ie, no provisional is permitted.
