A pros divot is going to be just millimeter past the ball and the club face would hit the grate. But I would try to hit it play the ball where it lies is what I was taught
Even though you’re able to hit it moving your ball away from the drain will keep the fairway looking nice. It’s hard enough to keep the grass around that drain as nice as it looks now don’t need deep divots around it.

Play the damn thing. 🙄
Yes! the drainage grills are usually set in concrete, there will probably just be a thin layer of grass under your ball.
A tour pro would get a favorable ruling on this everytime.
Ask Justin Thomas
He'll na. Play it as it lies
A pro may get a drop but I’d take that shot myself.
No take a big divot
No, you are able to set tour stance, ball is on grass and you are able to make a swing. just a little bump and run and you'll be on the dance floor
Wot U.S.Mitia sed: play the damn thing!
Yes because the head of the club in the follow trou will hit the iron grate
You are 6” behind it. It’s not an issue at all.

Id move it if nobody is looking.

No relief
Ask Justin Thomas.. He knows the answer.
I would say free drop
If it’s on your through swing move it
You can hit it but you’ll have to go to the fitting trailer for a new club. Oh wait, no fitting trailer? Move it.
Play the ball.
Just hit it.
You get relief from all drains and sprinkler heads. Even if it affects your stance
