Hello
We have a couple of fairways which have been deep scarified to help with drainage. We brought in a local rule giving relief under 16.1b if the ball (not the stance) is touching one of the slits. This has been interpreted as dropping the ball away from the original slit but still in the general area of scarification. If the ball lands in another slit it is being placed as per the rules. This is now being questioned. Is each individual slit an AGC or should the whole area be defined as AGC meaning that a drop would need to be made off the fairway (taking full relief).
Thanks
