The first hole and the 10 hole at my home golf course run parallel to each other. Not that it would be a good shot if your approach on 10 landed on the first green but it’s theoretically possible. Many golf courses have parallel holes or compact layouts. Landing your ball on the wrong green may happen to you. Here’s what to do if you hit the wrong green.
What to do if your golf ball is on the wrong green?
Under Rule 13.1f, if your ball comes to rest on a wrong green or if the wrong green interferes with your stance or swing, you must take free relief. While your golf ball may have the perfect lie on this green, you are still required to take relief. Playing from the wrong green is not allowed.
What counts as interference?
Relief is required when:
Your ball is physically on the wrong green.The wrong green interferes with your stance or area of intended swing.You are not entitled to relief just because the green is near your line of play. You also can’t take relief just because you’d prefer to avoid a green. If interference exists only because you choose a club, stance or direction of play that is unreasonable under the circumstances, you can’t take relief.
Essentially, you can’t exploit the wrong green to your advantage, as it would be unfair.
We all love golf around here but that doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it.
A Reddit user recently posed a simple question: What is a golf trend you can’t stand?
And, boy, are there some golf trends a lot of us can’t stand. Here are the top answers on that thread.
Playing music way too loudly on the course
The most offered answer had to do with playing music on the course.
While some users conceded that music was acceptable if played at a reasonable volume, a large swath of golfers are fed up with music in general.
Golf simulators are fun, but let’s be honest, they’re a big investment. One of the best ways to justify that cost is by treating your simulator as more than just a toy. It’s a serious training tool. Whether it’s rainy, too hot or the middle of winter, a simulator gives you the chance to practice when the course doesn’t. For one PGA professional, that extra indoor grind didn’t just improve his game; it earned him a spot in the PGA Championship.
Who is Rupe Taylor?
Rupe Taylor is a 35-year-old PGA teaching professional based in Virginia Beach, Va. He runs “Play Better Now” out of the Virginia Beach National Golf Club where he spends most of his time helping others sharpen their game. When he finds time to work on his swing, it’s often indoors. He has a home simulator running Trackman software.
Taylor isn’t a household name but his story is a perfect example of what can happen when hard work meets modern technology. Despite a full lesson schedule and limited time to play, he’s turned his garage into a proving ground for elite performance.
His journey to the PGA Championship
To earn a spot in the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Taylor needed to finish inside the top 20 at the PGA Professional Championship.
He did just that, placing ninth with a two-under-par total over four rounds, good enough to punch his ticket to a major championship.

The Titleist GT1 3Tour fairway wood follows an interesting trend of Tour pros gravitating toward the higher launching model.
The post Titleist’s GT1 3Tour fairway wood blends Tour-grade performance with forgiveness appeared first on Golf.
The Titleist GT1 fairway wood was supposed to be simple. When it launched, the story was straightforward: a lightweight fairway wood designed for moderate swing speed players who need help getting the ball airborne. Sure, the updated model had that flip weight system that could be used to build it to a more conventional fairway wood spec but the GT1’s primary mission was clear—to help golfers who struggle to generate enough spin and launch with traditional fairway woods.
Then something weird happened.
In February, Titleist started quietly offering a 14.5-degree prototype version to PGA Tour players. Much to nearly everyone’s surprise—including Titleist’s—they started putting them in the bag. Today, roughly 20 percent of Titleist fairway woods in play on Tour are GT1s.
The appeal isn’t hard to understand once you’ve experienced it. GT1’s shallower head profile makes hitting off the deck almost foolproof. While that might sound like a moderate swing speed golfer’s problem, it turns out Tour players appreciate a fairway wood that sets up behind the ball in such a way that suggests it’s impossible not to get it airborne.
About those lofts
There’s a bit of nuance to this story worth understanding. While it seems odd to launch a line extension that’s, on paper anyway, all of half a degree stronger than what’s on store shelves, the 15-degree model we told you about in January is actually closer to 16.5 degrees of loft.
