Q.
The player’s ball came to rest underneath the out of bounds fence, but luckily a small part of the ball was touching the course side of the fence, so it was in bounds. Is he entitled to free relief from the boundary fence?
.
A.
No, boundary fences are not immovable obstructions, so there is no free relief from them under Rule 16.1.
