Exception #7

The Official Exceptions to the Rules of Golf
By: Henry Beard

Exception #7
Ball not put fully into play
(Topped Ball)
A player may replay any tee shot once, without assessing a stroke, if the ball fails to pass beyond the forward edge
of the raised mound of grassy area comprising the ladies' tees, or if, as a result of his ball having contacted any
artificial fixed equipment found on or near the teeing ground, such as tee markers, informational signs, ball cleaning
devises, benches, litter recepticals, drinking fountains, or his fellow players, golfing equipment or carts, it comes to rest
in a place farther from, or no nearer to, the hole than the point where it teed up prior to being hit.
