Revisional
Ball
If, prior to teeing
off from the teeing ground of the first hole of any stipulated round, a player
informs his fellow players of his intention of replaying one unsatisfactory tee
shot and secures from them their clearly stated consent to this procedure, he
may, upon hitting a flawed drive, put into play a revisional ball (mulligan) without
assessing a stroke or incurring any penalty, under whichever of the following
conditions of permissible replay has been mutually agreed to:
1. On the first
tee of any 9-hole or 18-hole course, or
2. On the first
and the tenth tees of any 18-hole course having two distinct 9-hole layouts, provided
play is suspended, however briefly and for whatever purpose, at the conclusion
of play on the first 9 holes, or
3. On the tee
of any one hole, regardless of its position in the sequence of holes.
However, if a
player elects to hit a revisional ball, he must play that ball, even if it comes
to rest in a lie substantially worse than that occupied by his original ball,
unless the option of playing the better of the two balls has itself also been
separately endorsed by all the players in the playing group.
