Hello Linda,
We live in Southern Ontario. In late June and early July we
get an infestation of Asian beetles. While here, they are quite chummy with one
another and congregate on the fairways in large clusters. A player's ball
settled an inch or two behind a cluster and she wondered if she was entitled to
relief. If she did not move the ball, her swing would have struck the
cluster, likely killing several of the beetles.
Thank you for all your previous help and guidance.
Lou
p.s...When the beetles arrive, they are closely followed by
seagulls who quickly rid us of the problem.
Dear Lou,
I am not familiar with beetle clusters. In my neck of the
woods, we have to deal with gaggles of geese, which are easily shooed away. If
the beetles cannot be encouraged to disperse with a wave of your magic club,
take a free drop away from the little critters [Decision 1-4/9].
Golfers should not be in the business of murdering poor, defenseless
beetles. Far better for them to be served up as snacks for the seagulls!
Linda
