I was going from this by Spawn, in his post:-
On my local course theirs 3 holes that have trees with exposed roots, Local rule say its free relief id be amazed if other clubs didn't do the same, Ive seen people really hurt there wrists.
Even if it wasn't a local rule to free relief id still do it anyway no way I'm risking my wrists or future playing
If that really is a Local Rule, then that's the rules you must play at that course - at least for all play covered by the LRs on the card! It matters not whether the LR is 'illegal' or not! However, the illegality of the LR should be pointed out to the appropriate (club) authorities!
