Rules Corner Last Week’s Question A player’s ball lands in the edge of the rough in an animal hole. If their 1 club length area of relief partly extends onto the fairway they may drop the ball on the fairway in that area. a. True b. False c. They don’t get relief from an animal hole in the rough Last Week’s Answer The answer is a) True. The rough and the fairway are both part of the general area and if relief for an abnormal course condition e.g. an animal hole is taken in the rough, the ball can be dropped in the fairway if that lies within the area of relief. ( Rule 16.1a) This Week’s Question If a player damages a club during a round by throwing it, or any other form of abuse, they are allowed to replace it during the round; a. True b. False c.
