New Golf Rule - Dropping Ball Explained...

Writer's picture: PE&R BranchPE&R Branch

Dropping Procedure 

Last year it was proposed that golfers could drop from any height above an inch. This has been changed to knee height. So from 1st Jan 2019, when taking relief golfers will now drop from knee height – no longer shoulder height.


Just to confirm, you must drop from knee height, dropping from above or below the knee is not an option. The graphic seems to explain it pretty well.
