WATCH: Ateur plays outside the underwater house – and struggles
<!–
–>
For those of you wondering what an underwater house is, it's not the latest in academic design yet.
Instead, it simply describes what happens in the course when the residence is too close to the lake.
This golfer makes an amazing save from a very wet basket.
He even finds it within a few meters of the hole.
Whenever you see yellow poles, this indicates that the lake/river/pond in question is a water hazard. If you hit a shot into a water hazard, you can play the ball as it lies (no penalty), or if the ball is unplayable, choose from these options (with a one-shot penalty):
- Hit another ball where you just hit it (at a water hazard — try to avoid that this time!).
- Take the point where your ball crossed the water hazard and throw another ball (you can go back where you want, keeping that point between you and the hole).
There are also side water hazards. If you play by the sea, the sea is often referred to as a background water hazard. The red poles indicate the direction. Your options are to play the ball as it lies (no penalty, but dangerous), or choose one of the following (with a one-stroke penalty):
- Release the ball from the spot where the ball last crossed the hazard line – between two club lengths, not close to the hole.
- Drop the ball as close as possible to the area next to the edge of the water hazard, the same distance from the hole.
- Hit another ball between two clubs the length of the spot you just hit
- Take the spot where the ball crossed the water hazard and throw the other ball back the way you want, keeping that point between you and the hole.
