Ball hits a power line: what now?
A power line runs over the 7th hole, and there is a Local Rule for it. Your tee shot hits the line but still lands in the middle of the fairway. What is the ruling?
Answer
You must replay the stroke without penalty
Under this Local Rule, a stroke does not count if the ball hits the power line, a tower or a support wire. You must replay it, even if the ball lies well. If you play the ball on instead, you get the general penalty.
