We are in ‘the changeover ‘ period where the temporary winter greens have been mowed although not in use at present.
On our scorecard it states in NON competition golf the ball MUST be lifted and dropped at nearest point of relief. In competitions it MUST be played as it lies.
My ball landed on the on mowed area and somebody said there is a rule which states that relief should be taken at nearest point of relief.
Is this correct? If so where is the rule please?
if I played from the newly mowed area, despite what our scorecard says, should I be penalised a general penalty. This is no mention of the new rule in the locker room or on view.
Thank you
