Rule 17 - Penalty Areas
Penalty areas are defined as either red or yellow. This affects your relief options (see Rule 17.1d).
You may stand in a penalty area to play a ball outside the penalty area, including after taking relief from the penalty area.
a. When Your Ball Is in Penalty Area
Your ball is in a penalty area when any part of it lies on or touches the ground or anything else inside the edge of the penalty area, or is above the edge or any other part of the penalty area.
b. You May Play Ball as It Lies in Penalty Area or Take Penalty Relief
You may either play the ball as it lies without penalty or play a ball from outside the penalty area by taking penalty relief.
Exception – Relief Must Be Taken from Interference by No Play Zone in Penalty Area.
c. Relief for Your Ball Not Found but in Penalty Area
If your ball has not been found and it is known or virtually certain that it came to rest in a penalty area you may take penalty relief under this Rule.
But if it is not known or virtually certain that your ball came to rest in a penalty area and the ball is lost, you must take stroke-and-distance relief.
d. Relief for Your Ball in Penalty Area
You have the relief options shown in Diagram #1 17.1d (relief for yellow penalty area) and Diagram #2 17.1d (relief for red penalty area), each for one penalty stroke.
