How do the rules work when there is a drop zone marked? At the course I
usually play at there is a pond that runs along the right side of a par 5
which is in play from t-off to about 300 yards down the fairway. If the
ball goes in the water on any part do I have to drop it in the drop zone?
My ball was past the drop zone and I could have made the green with my 3
wood from where it bounced in, but if I went back 30 yards to the drop zone
I would have no chance to get the green.
