Ask Linda 1961-Relief from unplayable lie in GUR

Hi Linda, 
When taking an unplayable lie with a one-shot penalty, if within the two club-lengths there's an area of GUR are you allowed to drop in the GUR then take relief from that?
Lou from Sheffield

Dear Lou,

Yes.

When you take penalty relief for an unplayable ball, your relief area may be in any area of the course. If you drop in an area of ground under repair (GUR) from which play is prohibited, you will have to take relief from the GUR after your drop.
