Unplayable ball

Illustration for Unplayable ball

You're the only one who decides whether your ball is unplayable. You can do this anywhere on the course except in a penalty area. Rule 19 then gives you three options, each with one penalty stroke. If your ball is in a bunker, there's an extra option with two penalty strokes to drop outside the bunker.
