Linda,
If you were in the rough, and you had an obstruction that
you got free relief from, and that free relief would put you in the fairway, is
that permissible? Thank you again Linda for all your answers to my questions.
Lulu from Green Valley, Arizona
Dear Lulu,
Yes.
The player must drop within one club-length of the nearest
point of relief [Rule 24-2b]. If that point gets her out of the rough and onto
the fairway, she is a lucky lady! Please read Decision 24-2b/8.
Note that if the ball lies in a bunker, any free drop must
be in the bunker.
Linda
