Teacher's Corner » Tip 5: Take a Drop

There are some situations in Golf when the player has to drop a ball. (In Real golf den by letting the ball fall to the ground from the lvl of your shoulders.) :

a: when following the "water-hazard" rule. Counting 1 stroke penalty the player can choose to:
a0: replay a ball from last position
a1: drop a ball on the line pin -> entry point backwards as far as desired.
a2: (lateral water only) drop a ball within 2 clublength from the entry point not nearer to the pin. (falsly implemented for every waterhazard in GS)
a3: (lateral water only) drop a ball within 2 clublength of the point opposite to the entrypoint, not nearer to the pin. (not implemented in GS)

b: takeing reliefe from an obstacle (not implemented in GS). The player can choose to:
b0: replay a ball from last position.
b1: drop a ball on the line pin -> ball as far back as desired.
b2: drop a ball within 2 clublength from the point of reliefe, not nearer to the pin.

c: after having declared a ball as unplayable.
c0: replay a ball from last position.
c1: drop a ball on the line pin -> ball as far back as desired.
c2: drop a ball within 2 clublength from the ball, not nearer to the pin.

To use these drops in GS click on the Drop-button (rightmost just above wind indicator).

click on 2club for a2 (non ruleconform) and c2. click a spot in then circle-segment and then "dot-circle" to drop the ball.
