Ask Linda 556a-Orange peel in bunker


Linda– 
What if instead of a candy wrapper [in a bunker] it was an orange peel, which is not man made?
Lou

Dear Lou,

An orange peel is a natural object and, therefore, a loose impediment. You may not touch it if it lies in a bunker. The same would hold true for a banana peel or a half-eaten pear, even if there were no banana, pear, or orange tree in the vicinity of the bunker [Decisions 23/3, 23/4].
