Transcript excerpt

This is the luckiest bad shot in all of golf. It's bad for obvious reasons, but it's lucky because now you can tee it up again without penalty. Here's why you made a stroke to put the ball in play. And it now lies in the teeing area, which is this very specific rectangular area that measures two club lengths deep from the tees you're playing. This does not apply to any other set of tier. So you don't have to play it as it lies. You can put it back on a tier to play your second shot.
