When a player hits a ball out of bounds, they are required to drop the ball within 2 club lengths from where the ball crossed the line. This is a rule in golf known as the "stroke and distance" penalty. By dropping the ball within 2 club lengths, the player is given an opportunity to continue play without incurring a further penalty. This rule ensures that players are penalized for hitting the ball out of bounds, but also allows them to continue the game without having to replay the shot from the previous position.Rate this question:
