Rule when hitting the rope of a temporary fence

[Crawley1981]

We have temporary rope fences to keep buggies/trolleys away from the greens so if you do hit one of these and know you have what is the correct ruling. Have looked on line but all appears to relate to boundary fences rather than temporary ones.

Hit in what way?

If it is obstructing your swing it is generally a moveable obstruction so you can move it out of the way and replace afterwards. You can also remove it if it interferes with line of play. Rule 24-1 & 13-2.

If the ball hits it then rub of the green play from where it lies. Same as if you'd hit a moveable bin or a bench. Rule 19-1

If it is easily moved it is a movable obstruction. Rule 24-1

If it isn't or if a local rule says it is an immovable obstruction you may take relief as for any other immovable obstruction. Rule 24-2

Probably should of taken the poles out as usually do but was only just of the green and assumed i wouldn't hit it so was a little bit annoying to see it throw it right of course but least i played it from the correct spot and only dropped one. Even with that and a double and a triple still managed a 78 which was my lowest score since June.

Normal if you hit it with your ball you then walk up to your ball pick a club then hit it again :thup:

should of taken

You probably mean 'should have taken' or 'should've taken'.

78 with a double, triple and a shot cost by hitting the rope! Good shooting. A little bit of time to take out the poles (or at least drop the rope) and you could of seen a 77

btw I know it is have rule fan

I Play off 12 but the 1st to admit its not the most difficult of courses as pretty much impossible to lose a ball. However after last weeks 89, 90 and 91 am well impressed with this weeks 84 (included an 8 on a par 4) 83 and a 78 and hopefully going in the right direction again after not playing in September due to being on a residential works course.

Sorry, it's a bete noire of mine. I'm sure my grandson says it just to irritate me.
Its almost as irritating as his replying 'Good' whe I ask how he is. I then point out that he may be well but his being good is debatable.

The correct use of words is a requirement of understanding the rules of golf

Being good with grammar doesn't necessarily mean good with a keyboard but then diacritics are rarely used in English.

True......but it takes just as long to type poor English as it does correct English and it is so much easier to read when grammatically correct :thup:

That's a weak cop-out and you should be ashamed of it. Many loan words from other languages should still be written in English with their native diacritics especially where it aids pronunciation. I reckon touché is one of them. I would still write soufflé, although it would be very old fashioned and no doubt pretentious to write hôtel.

What a long way we are from a golf ball hitting a rope.
