GRQOTW111:
If a ball is on the green and on its Line of Play is an immovable obstruction, then the player is allowed free relief, even if this IO is off the green.The NPCR is at the nearest spot on an arc, and this could be off the green. Regardless of where this NPCR is, the ball is to be placed.Episode 112Blakey takes us through some interesting ruling from his recent time overseas in Muscat, Jeddah, Hong Kong and Macau, including a player that wanted to drop from shoulder height, and what is least intrusive when it comes to moving loose impediments.Stuart also had a recent tournament, where his main rulings were regarding TIOs and praying the balls didn’t move on the green.We also go through some clubland stories including what makes a putting green a putting green, why did we say there is no free relief from interference by a rabbit hole, and clarifying what the Rules say about playing two balls.
GRQOTW 112:
Andy the Average Golfer is playing an individual stroke round at Wombat Hills Golf Club. On the 5th hole, his ball is lying just on the front of the putting green for 4 and he has interference from temporary water on the green between his ball and the hole. He lifts his ball from the putting green without marking the spot nor without announcing to anyone what he is doing. He estimates his nearest point of complete relief, which is just off the green on the fringe. He changes the ball and drops a new ball near the NPCR which then rolls away from the hole, however it remains within 1 club length of the NPCR. He takes another 4 strokes to hole out - how many strokes has Andy the Average Golfer had on the 5th hole?
