Stroke and distance relief – where to play from
Whenever you are required or allowed to make your next stroke from where a previous stroke was made, such as when taking stroke-and-distance relief, how you must put a ball into play depends on the area of the course where that previous stroke was made.
When that stroke was made from the putting green, a ball must be placed on the spot where your previous stroke was made (which if not known must be estimated).
