  If you hit your ball in a hazard do you have to play where the game resets you to or can you move the player back to where you originally hit from or from other areas such as the real Rules of Golf allows.

   

  And can you declare your ball unplayable as well as take a drop if your stance is obstructed, I actually had to play off a stair which forced me into a big ol snowman on the card! 

  Appreciate any assist!!

  Only where the game chooses.

  No.

  +1!

  In general, the game does not allow any in-game options for the players. These are restrictions which ease programming tremendously - think of dropping at lateral hazards. Since they apply to all players in identical way, it's still "fair", some more than unfavourable drops excluded :)

  Sadly not but I see no technical reason why it cannot be implemented.  We have a take mulligan option in practice mode, couldn't that be modified to give us a take stroke and distance penalty option?
