About this listen

In Episode 19 of the Birdie Board Podcast, Corey breaks down penalty areas in a simple, practical way. You’ll learn the difference between yellow stakes and red stakes, what actually counts as “in” the penalty area, and the two core decisions you always have: play it as it lies, or take one penalty stroke and use your relief options.

Corey walks through the exact drop options for yellow stakes (back on the line or re-hit) and the extra option you get with red stakes (two club lengths). He also covers common real-world situations like uncertainty about whether your ball is actually in the penalty area, identifying your ball in messy spots, what you can and cannot move, and what happens when your attempt to play out of the penalty area goes sideways.
