Mole hills

[Joeadams92]

We have 1 hole on our course which in 1 of the dips there a quite a few mole hills, Last week i somehow ended up on top of the mole hill, What would the ruling be on this? Play as it stands? drop behind the mole hill ??

Thanks

you could play it as it lies, or take free a free drop within a club length of the nearest point of relief.

There are mole hills in the rough on one of our holes, our former captain who is apparently well versed in the rules said you can take a free drop if your ball or your foot when taking your stance are on the mole hill. Nearest point of relief, including full relief for your stance.

A Mole hill is an Abnormal Ground Condition including:
Any hole dug in the ground by an animal, except for holes dug by animals that are also defined as loose impediments (such as worms or insects).
The term animal hole includes:
The loose material the animal dug out of the hole,

• Any worn-down track or trail leading into the hole, and
• Any area on the ground pushed up or altered as a result of the animal digging the hole underground.

Free relief is available for interference to the lie of the ball, area of intended swing and stance

I think you're making a mountain out of it

If you have a good lie can you move the loose soil of a mole hill if your standing on it instead of moving your ball.?

No. Loose soil is not a loose impediment.

If the ball is lying on mole poo it's a two shot penalty
Your not allowed to hit a ball in motion !!

I believe the same applies if the mole hill has been flattened providing it's till obviously mole made.
