A Gentleman’s Lift

A Gentleman’s Lift is a golfing term and refers to when a ball lands in a difficult spot. The player can move the ball to a more favorable area without incurring a penalty stroke. One club length is the widely accepted distance the ball can be moved, although the distance can vary from player to player.

Mike: “What’s a Gentleman’s Lift?”

Jamie: “Pick up your ball from that terrible spot and move it to a better spot”

Mike: “But won’t I incur a penalty stroke for that?”

Jamie: “Not at all, that’s the beauty of a Gentleman’s Lift!”
