π RULE 16.1 Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)
a. When Relief Is Allowed
(1) Meaning of Interference by Abnormal Course Condition. Interference exists when any one of these is true:
The playerβs ball touches or is in or on an abnormal course condition,
-- An abnormal course condition physically interferes with the playerβs area of intended stance or area of intended swing, or
-- Only when the ball is on the putting green, an abnormal course condition on or off the putting green intervenes on the line of play.
-- If the abnormal course condition is close enough to distract the player but does not meet any of these requirements, there is no interference under this Rule.
π Model Local Rule F-5: Immovable Obstructions Close to Putting Green
βRelief from interference by an immovable obstruction may be taken under Rule 16.1.
The player also has these extra options to take relief when such immovable obstructions are close to the putting green and on the line of play:
Ball in General Area. The player may take relief under Rule 16.1b if an immovable obstruction is:
-- On the line of play, and is:
-- Within two club-lengths of the putting green, and
-- Within two club-lengths of the ball.
Exception - No Relief If Line of Play Clearly Unreasonable. There is no relief under this Local Rule if the player chooses a line of play that is clearly unreasonable.
