Ball
Hit Perfectly Straight
If, in fairly
taking his stance on the teeing ground of any hole, a player intentionally lines
up well to the left or well to the right of his desired target in order to compensate
for a chronic hook or slice and proceeds to hit a straight and flawless shot directly
into unplayable terrain along the margins
of the hole, he may replay that shot without assessing a stroke or incurring any
penalty. However, if he thereupon deliberately readjusts his customary corrective
alignment to a square stance in the belief that his long-established directional
error has been unexpectedly and inexplicably cured, and then hooks or slices his
second ball, he must play that shot from wherever it lies, no matter how unfavourable
its position, even if he can clearly and convincingly demonstrate to his fellow
players that if he had adopted his habitual preventive posture, his ball would
have come to rest in the middle of the fairway.
