Hi Linda,
At our club here in New Zealand we have winter placing – lift,
clean and place within 6 inches no closer to the hole on your own
fairway. Once the ball is definitely at rest after being placed back and
the marker lifted, the ball subsequently moves. I presume you leave the ball
where it comes to rest and play from there. My question is – if my presumption
is correct, that I am allowed to hit from this new location – am I also allowed
to clean and place again?
Thank you,
Lulu from New Zealand
Dear Lulu,
Getting greedy, are we? One placement per customer. Once you
place your ball it is in play. If it subsequently moves, you must play it from
its new location and you may not lift, clean, and place it a second time
[Appendix I, Part B, Local Rule #4c].
