00:08
You will incur a one stroke penalty if you strike yourself
00:11
with your own ball.
00:17
You cannot artificially warm a ball during a round.
00:24
You can wrap your leg in a towel if you're near a cactus,
00:27
but you can't wrap the cactus in a towel.
00:33
If the ball lands near a dangerous looking snake,
00:36
you can take relief without penalty.
00:38
If the snake is dead you can remove it,
00:40
provided you don't move your ball.
00:43
You may not listen to music while you play,
00:45
as it may remove distractions and improve your tempo.
00:48
The penalty, disqualification.
00:55
You could only remove a ball from a hole
00:57
made by a burrowing animal,
00:58
such as a gopher, meerkat, or rabbit.
01:02
Dogs and bears don't count.
01:06
If your ball is lodged in an orange, you cannot remove it
01:10
without incurring a penalty.
