» The common feedback I've received from my recent rule tips have been asking for more clear simple explanations on queries involving penalty relief, ball movement, and on-course procedures. How long can you search for a ball and what's the penalty if you accidently move your ball on the green or bunker together with the ability to take free relief from abnormal ground conditions for example: ground under repair or temporary water.
Free relief, OB stakes and the one-club drop
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 11/02/2026
» Please allow me to try and explain what is an immovable obstruction once more. They are basically artificial, fixed objects like cart paths, sprinklers, or fences -- they allow for a free, one-stroke relief drop if they interfere with a player's lie, stance, or swing.

» Sprinkler heads are immovable obstructions, and you get free relief if they interfere with your stance, swing, or lie, but for line-of-play interference (when it's just in the way of your shot direction), you only get relief from this predicament if a local rule is in effect, requiring the sprinkler head and ball to be within two club-lengths of the green and the green's fringe (fairway height or shorter). Without the local rule, you must play it as it lies or take penalty relief.
