Ask Linda #540-Removing dew


Linda, dew cannot be touched. Am I correct?

Lou

Dear Lou,

You are correct, Lou. A player is not permitted to improve his lie, the area of his intended stance or swing, or his line of play, by removing dew [Rule 13-2]. This is because dew is neither casual water nor a loose impediment [Definition of Casual Water; Definition of Loose Impediments].
