Test your knowledge of the rules of golf with our video rules quiz where you are the ref.
A player’s ball lies on a path and they realise that they are entitled to a free drop away from it as it is artificially surfaced.
They see a nice area of ground where they want to drop, although it is further away than the nearest point of complete relief.
The player puts a tee marker down on the ground where the ball lay, picks up their ball, then drops it while standing on the path.
It lands on a spot where the ball is no longer on the path but one foot is still standing on the path.
