A player's plays his ball from within a bunker, but instead of it coming out onto the green, it ends up in a hole in the top edge of the bunker face. To describe - the bunker has a steep sandy face, then at the top, above the sand, there is a vertical soil/turf face of about 8 inches height - then above that, the greenside grass surface. The hole, about 4 inches in depth, has been dug into this vertical face, right where the sand stops and the vertical cut starts. The ball sits on the edge of the hole. Looking vertically down from above, about 1/3 of the ball overhangs the sand and about 2/3 lies below the grass surface.
We assumed the hole has been dug by an animal - there was some debris below it and the rest of the face had been neatly, and recently, cut by by the greens team. Is free relief available, and if yes, where?
