R&A Rules of Golf
You hit a perfect drive down the middle of the fairway only to find that you have to stand in a puddle of water to play your ball, or you hit your approach to the green just a little too long and it comes to rest on a cart path. It doesn’t feel fair to have to play your shot from these positions, so what can you do?
These are two examples of conditions that are often found on a golf course that are not normally meant to be part of the challenge of the sport. These types of conditions are known collectively as abnormal course conditions and also include; holes made by animals, areas marked as ground under repair, immovable obstructions (such as artificially surfaced cart paths) and temporary water (such as puddles). As abnormal course conditions are not part of the challenge, the Rules of Golf give you the option to take free relief under Rule 16. This is one of the most frequently used Rules and one that is worth taking your time to understand. Watch this animation from the R&A webpage on rules as it explains more about abnormal conditions and when you are allowed to take free relief from them:
Remember:
- Even if you have interference from the likes of a cart path, or an animal hole, it doesn’t mean you are entitled to a perfect stance and lie after you take relief. To take relief you must find the nearest point to where your ball lies where you no longer have interference from the condition and then drop within one club-length of that point, no nearer the hole.
- If your ball was in the general area, your nearest point of complete relief must also be in the general area and your ball must also be dropped in the general area.
- It is worth noting that in many situations, the nearest point of complete relief will not be the nicest spot - it could even be in a bush, or in very thick rough. That means you should always check where you will be able to drop your ball under this Rule before you lift it, as playing the ball as it lies might be your best option!
- You are not allowed to take free relief from an abnormal course condition in a penalty area.
