I have a question around rule 16.2 Dangerous Animal Condition. We have a NZ bird (imported from our Aussie friends!) – a spur winged plover that nests on the ground on the course and is very protective at nesting time. They make targeted swoops accompanied by raucous screeching until you move far enough away from their nest. These attacks are quite unnerving, although the birds seldom actually strike their ‘victims’ when they do the spur on the wing can scratch deeply. Unfortunately once they have decided you are a threat they can continue to persue you some distance! It is impossible to play a ball with one of them dive bombing you!

16.2 allows you to move away – do you think this applies here. You’d have to move a considerable distance and probably abandon your ball for another. Could you move 50m - 100m Not nearer the hole? In friendly games someone sometimes volunteers to wave an umbrella about while you play but what about a competition?
