Had the fortune of playing a couple of courses at the Algarve couple of weeks ago. We booked early morning tees at first light each day.
We played a couple of holes with the sprinklers still running on the course. Luckily none of us hit our ball into the path of the spraying water. But we wondered what the rule would be if we had.
My view was; if we did land in the spaying area, it should be treated as casual water. My son in laws opinion was casual water was under foot and not water spraying on your head and back. Although we all agreed at the start to play it be accepted as casual water, were we right?
