GOLF’S NEW RULES
Embedded Ball in Rough. Under the old rule, you could only remove and replace an embedded ball if it was embedded in the fairway.
Under the new rule, you can take a free drop if your ball is embedded in the rough or semi-rough as well as the fairway (except when embedded in sand or penalty areas).
If your ball is embedded in the fairway, rough or semi-rough, take a free drop from a point behind the ball and within one club length in the same area where the ball was embedded. (Rule 16.3.)
When your ball is embedded in the sand or a penalty area, the ball must be played as it lies. However, and this may be a gray area, but if a ball is embedded in sand on the fairway, there seems to be free relief allowed if the sand is in an area cut to fairway height or less. This would in effect mean that you can get relief for a ball embedded in a sand-filled divot or drain on the fairway provided the sand is in an area cut to fairway height or less and the ball is embedded in its own pitch mark (Rule 16.3a and exceptions).
Club Length. The new rule provides a club length is measured by the longest club in your bag except for your putter (the new rule is designed to avoid measuring a club length with long-shafted putters).
