When Your Ball is Unplayable, Know Your Options

Assignment

Create an ‘unplayable lies obstacle course’ with your parent. Place golf balls in 5 deliberately difficult positions — next to a fence, against a tree, in long grass, behind a root, in a corner. For each one, practice: (1) deciding it is unplayable, (2) choosing which of the three relief options is best, and (3) dropping correctly. Write in your journal which option you chose for each and why.
