In this episode of the Birdie Board podcast, Corey kicks off a winter friendly refresher on the rules of golf. He shares how learning the rules in a competitive league gave him confidence in his scorecard and helped him guide friends through tricky situations on the course.
Corey walks through key basics like holing out versus conceding, how and when you can substitute your golf ball, what it really means to “play it as it lies,” and how club length affects your drop options. He also explains the proper mechanics of taking a drop, common penalty scenarios when you drop incorrectly, and what to do when play is suspended for weather or lightning.
Whether you are a casual weekend golfer or a little more serious about your score, this episode will help you understand the rules around dropping and basic situations so you can play more confidently, track your true progress, and get more out of every round with Birdie Board.
