Courses introduce lift clean and place as a local rule when it is not in the best shape. There are times you can lift without penalty and times when there is a penalty. Find out which is which!
The big key to knowing when to Lift, Clean, and Place! is whether you are through the green or in the rough. "Through the green" means on any "closely mown area," which will usually include the fairway, fringe, and green. If you are in the fairway and the course has posted a local rule allowing you to lift clean and place, they will also usually give you a distance to move your ball (not nearer the hole). That distance can be from 6 inches to two club lengths.
The Procedure.
Before lifting your ball, if you are "through the green," you must first mark the location with a tee or a coin. Then go ahead and clean your ball. You may replace your ball within the designated area and go ahead and play your shot.
When you are in the rough, you do not qualify for lift, clean, and place. It would be best if you played it. If the ball is embedded, you must either play it or refer further to the local rules to see if an embedded rule applies.
