Unplayable ball in hedge next to massively sloping fairway

[RRidges]

If I had a normal unplayable lie, paid the one shot penalty so was able to drop within 2 cl, why is it I don't have to drop a ball after the first cl and measure the second cl from where the ball rolled to assuming it was within one cl

Because, as per the rule, the relief area is 2 club lengths!

There was that occasion at the Open where Speith was claiming an uplayable on the hill on the 13th at Royal Birkdale, didn't drop it in the tour trucks but moved to the side onto the practice ground. If it's good enough for John Paramor ...

He went 'back on a line' which got him onto the practice ground which was not out of bounds.

And then took "line of sight" relief away from the tour trucks.

Got you now.
It was a different but related question.

That would suggest that you could drop at 1" from the original position (ie within 1cl) and continue dropping at small intervals until 2cl or a perfect lie is achieved. And presumably in multiple directions.
Or am I misunderstanding exactly what you mean?

Totally lost interest now

Now you're just trolling

If you think I'm trolling, which is against forum rules, report me.

I know, I was just hoping someone, anyone, would agree that it made sense.

Here to oblige. I think the current rule makes total sense and changing it would be inappropriate.
