We are playing the ball down during our posting season
If a player believes that they might be entitled to relief under the Rules of Golf (such as 16.1 Unusual Ground Conditions) they should check with their opponent or at least someone in their foursome before taking relief.
BTW, the USGA link above has some really good visual info explaining relief options, Including
- 16.1 Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)
- 16.2 Dangerous Animal Condition
- 16.3 Embedded Ball
- 16.4 Lifting Ball to See If It Lies in Condition Where Relief Allowed
