Rule Clarification

Holes 2 & 15—

Over the last few weeks we have had several questions on rulings concerning the sink hole to the left of the 2^nd hole and also along the right of the 15^th now that it is surrounded by a post and rope fence which is fixed inside the hazard demarcation.

Queries relate to relief if the post and rope fence interfere with a players swing

Following clarification from the R&A the official ruling is as follows

If the players ball comes to rest inside the hazard demarcation NO automatic relief is eligible from the post and rope fence

If the players ball comes to rest outside the hazard demarcation but the players swing or stance is impeded by the post and rope fence then relief without penalty  can be taken- rule 24-2.b
