1. On the Green and bearing in mind not being able to test the surface or improving lie. Can you:- Clean your ball by rubbing it on Green? Repair Spike Marks? Repair embedded objects (stones; acorns etc ) Repair aeration/tine holes or grooves left by mower Remove loose impediments ie sand; stones; twigs etc by picking them up? by brushing them away with your hand? by brushing them away with cap or towel?
2. You over hit your 2nd (or possibly 3rd?) at the 18th – you and your playing partners are certain the ball finished in the flower beds behind the green – but you can’t find it – any relief/penalty – what is ruling?
3. Player’s ball finishes in an unplayable lie underneath a bush. He takes a penalty drop – but the ball then rolls back into more or less the same position underneath the same bush but not nearer the hole from where dropped. Can he take another free drop – or – must he drop again under same penalty? 4. You push your drive right at 17th and end up approx 8/9 feet behind the bench at 16th tee and directly in line with 17th green – any relief - what are your options – what if you decide to play it as it lies and ball actually hits bench? 5. You slice your approach to the 16th and your ball finishes on the apron of the 17th green ie the wrong green – its actually on the apron – not on the green itself – but you would have to stand on the green to play it. What is ruling :- Can you play it as it lies – or is there relief available?
