WELCOME TO THE LOP MEN’S GOLF CLUB WEBSITE
April 5, 2022
Certain conditions are not treated as part of the
challenge of playing the course, so free relief is
provided as an option. This includes interference
from temporary water, ground under repair,
animal holes, and immovable artificial objects
(such as carts paths and sprinkler heads). All
of these things are collectively known as abnormal
course conditions. You get free relief when the
condition interferes with your lie, stance, or area
of intended swing. When an abnormal course
condition only interferes with your line of play,
free relief is not provided.
To take free relief, you first have to find the
nearest point of complete relief, which is the spot
on the course nearest to where your ball lies, but
not nearer the hole, where you could play your
next stroke with no interference from the condition
you’re taking relief from. Then drop a ball within
one club-length of that point not nearer the hole.
If your ball is stuck in the ground (embedded)
anywhere except in a bunker or a penalty area, you
get free relief. Your ball must be found to take free
relief.
