Not sure where my ball crossed into the penalty area: what do I do?
You do not know exactly where your ball crossed the edge of a red penalty area. What do you do?
Answer
Estimate the spot as well as you can and take relief from there
The Rules ask for a reasonable judgment. You determine the crossing point as well as the circumstances allow and take relief from there. Your estimate stands even if it later turns out to be inaccurate.
