Morning everyone. 16.1 isn’t really clear on this one. In the pic you will see a path with a hedge on the far side which runs down the hole and is not a course boundary. If the ball is on the path closer to the hedge side, what are my relief options?
You could possibly get your feet off the path on that side in some places but largely the hedge is up to the path. Where you can get your feet fully off the path, it isn’t reasonable / is impossible to make a swing in the hedge. Does this make the hole side of the path the nearest point of relief?
I ask as many in the club would suggest my relief would be in the hedge due to the position of the ball. The only real options in that case is an unplayable lie to get two clubs onto the hole side or risk chipping your club on the stones on the path as not tarmac.
Thanks
