Golf rules for beginners | free relief from immovable obstruction #golf #golfinstruction #golfrules

Free relief from an immovable obstruction falls under USGA rule 16.1. Good to know the rules of golf at all times.

Rule 16 – Relief from Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions), Dangerous Animal Condition, Embedded Ball
Purpose of Rule: Rule 16 covers when and how you may take free relief by playing a ball from a different place, such as when you have interference by an abnormal course condition or a dangerous animal condition.

These conditions are not treated as part of your challenge of playing the course, and you are generally allowed free relief except in a penalty area.

You normally take relief by dropping a ball in a relief area based on the nearest point of complete relief.

This Rule also covers free relief when your ball is embedded in its own pitch mark in the general area.

16.1 Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)
This Rule covers free relief that is allowed from interference by animal holes, ground under repair, immovable obstructions or temporary water.

These are collectively called abnormal course conditions, but each has a separate Definition.

a. When Relief Is Allowed
Interference exists when any one of these is true:

Your ball touches or is in or on an abnormal course condition,

An abnormal course condition physically interferes with your area of intended stance or area of intended swing, or

Only when your ball is on the putting green, an abnormal course condition on or off the putting green intervenes on your line of play.

There is no free relief from an abnormal course condition when the abnormal course condition is out of bounds or your ball is in a penalty area.
