When I’m teaching my Golf Rules clinics I like to explain the difference between “must,” “may,” and “should.”

Many golfers think that putting a unique mark on their provisional ball is required, but the rules say that you “should“ do that.

Now, you “must” announce you’re playing a provisional, but you are not required to put a unique mark on it or tell anyone what the unique mark is. But it certainly is a very good idea. Rule 18.3

Listen and watch for the words “must,” “may,” and “should” when learning the rules.

Has the provisional ball rule caused confusion in your rounds?

This golf rules is sooo confusing, I know, but it’s important to know that that 3 minute search clock doesn’t start if a spectator or fellow competitor starts searching for your ball.

The 3 minute clock only starts when the player begins searching in the area they believe their ball is. Now, if you have a caddie, your caddie searching starts the clock on your behalf. AND if you’re playing in a partner format, like a better ball or alternate shot, your partner starts the clock as well. But NO ONE ELSE.
