If the lie has been marked by a marker disc, then when the disc is released, the player must:
Have at least one supporting point that is in contact with the lie; and,
Have no supporting point closer to the target than the rear edge of the marker disc; and,
Have all supporting points in-bounds.
For example, say the drive goes OB onto a street. Disc is brought back to in bounds (with penalty of course) + 3 feet. My question is, regarding the supporting points and putting. Player sets up put with front foot on lie and rear foot still on the street (OB). If the rear leg is off the ground just prior to and upon disc release, is it still considered a supporting point? Would this situation necessitate a straddle putt to get the rear leg in bounds for set up of the throw?
thanks!
