What To Do When Making A Shot From An Old Divot Hole

If you are like me, then most of the fun and challenge of a good game of golf is making successful recovery shots from
unsuccessful tee offs. Of course the goal is to avoid these type of hazard areas altogether, but like I said, it's a
lot of fun working your way of trouble.

Below is one tough area to shoot from when your ball gets in trouble, in addition to some tips on working your way
out of the situation.

Hitting The Ball From A Divot

As you know, a divot is the term to describe a small chunk of grass that is sliced out of from the course by most iron
shots. The entire patch is scooped out, roots, dirt, and all.

Most of the time, courteous golfers will replace any divots that they make and the grass will re-root itself in a few days
making the area appear brand-new.

However, not all players are as kind to the course as you and I are. Many people do not take the time to replace their divots.

When this happens, the course is left with a hole in the ground which causes a headache of a shot for you, especially when the
ball snuggles right inside the divot hole.

Now you have a shot to make that is resting on top of sandy soil instead of grass. This can be disastrous.

When you hit the ball from such a divot hole, you must make contact with the golf ball first, instead of the ground.

Many beginners have a tough time with such shots because if the ball is hit even a bit flat, it's not going to move very far at all.
You must adjust your stance so that you can make the downward swing steeper than normal, making sure to tap the ball first before
hitting the ground, if at all.

Choose The Right Iron

When facing a divot hole shot, your best bet is to choose an iron that gives you a decent amount of loft. Remember, you might not be
able to get ball onto the green with your iron in this particular situation, but the important goal here is to simply get out of
the divot entirely. And because you will be adjusting your stance in your swing so that you de-loft the clubface, the ball should go
further than normal.

     8 Basic Rules Of Golf As Outlined By The USGA If you wish to play the game of golf exactly as the rules state, created by the United States Golf Association (USGA), then the following list will help you become familiar with some of the basic regulations:

1. You are not allowed to give advice to your playing partners. Nor are you allowed to accept advice.

2. Every player has a maximum limit of 14 clubs to bring in his or her golf bag when playing the course. Occasionally, a golf club may break and replacing this club is allowed, so long as it is
quick and does not interfere or delay the game. In addition, regulations also state that if you purposely break a club out of frustration, you cannot replace it.

3. All players must tee up their ball in the prescribed tee area.

4. You are not allowed to fix any of the spike marks that may be between your ball and the playing hole on the green. Spikes from golf shoes occasionally leave a mark, but this is just considered a challenging hazard. Once the ball is in the hole,  you may then fix the marks. And being considerate to fix these marks is good etiquette for the next round of players passing through.

5. If there is frost or morning dew on the putting green, you cannot wipe it away. It must be left alone.

6. On the first hole, the order of people who play will be determined by drawing lots. The following holes are played in the order of playerswith the best score. Then the player who has the second-best score goes next, then the third, etc. If there happens to be a tie, the player who had the better score on
the  previous hole is the one that tees off first. At all other times on the course, the order of players is determined by the furthest ball away from the whole, with the farthest going first, then the second farthest,etc.

7. You can never putt your ball while another player's ball is still moving.

8. If you make a shot and the ball is literally lying on the edge of the cup, you have 10 seconds to wait until the ball drops in. Once the 10 seconds is over, you must give it another stroke. And if the ball  happens to drop in after the 10 seconds is up, but before you actually make your putt, it is then considered an additional stroke.
