Lateral relief allows you to drop a ball into a relief area measured from where your ball last crossed the edge of the red penalty area. From that reference point, you are allowed to drop outside the penalty area and anywhere within two club lengths of that spot, no nearer to the hole (Rule 17 1d(3)
Out of Bounds or Lost Ball: (1) When Ball Is Lost. A ball is lost if not found in three minutes after the player or their caddie begins to search for it. (2) When Ball Is Out of Bounds. A ball at rest is out of bounds only when all of it is outside the boundary edge of the course.
If a ball is lost or out of bounds the player must take stroke-and-distance relief by adding one penalty stroke and playing the original ball or another ball from where the previous stroke
was made (see Rule 14.6).
Local Rules: There are two in-course out of bounds.
