Interference from immovable obstruction or temporary water - How to take relief
If your ball is on the putting green and there is interference by an abnormal course condition, you may take free relief by placing the original ball or another ball as shown in Diagram 16.1d.
DIAGRAM 16.1d: FREE RELIEF FROM ABNORMAL COURSE CONDITION ON PUTTING GREEN
- The diagram assumes the player is left-handed.
- When a ball is on the putting green and there is interference by an abnormal course condition, free relief may be taken by placing a ball on the nearest point of complete relief.
- The nearest point of complete relief must be either on the putting green or in the general area.
