USGA and R&A Rule Changes 2017 - Page 3 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

***New rule: A player may take relief outside the bunker back on a line from the hole through where ball was at rest for 2 penalty strokes.***

Does this mean you will always have to chip over a bunker? Or can you put it in front of the bunker?

The word "back" seems to be relevant

It is 2017. What rules went through? Can’t wait to see someone picking their ball out of bunker.
