A few weeks ago, I gave you a quiz. Here are the answers:
Your ball is in the forest near the green. What are your different options if:
-A The ball lies on a pile of aeration plugs
If you find your ball on a pile of aeration plugs, you must assume it will not be eventually removed and play the ball where it lies. You may remove some plugs but in the process you must make sure you won’t move your ball at rest. The penalty would be one stroke.
-B The ball lies on a pile of grass cuttings
Same answer as the aeration plugs.
-C The ball lies in a hole made in removing a tree
You must play the ball where it lies. in the forest we can’t consider this hole as being ground under repair. When a tree is removed or if a tree has fallen in an area close to the fairway, it is possible for the Committee to consider this area as Ground Under Repair (GUR). If the hole was filled with sand or earth, it is not recommended to consider it as GUR.
-D The ball is in a hole full of water
Even if the ball lies in the middle of the woods, we will still consider it as casual water, a free relief is available.
