Relief when entire bunker is defined as Ground Under Repair
When a bunker is being repaired and the Committee defines the entire bunker as ground under repair, it is treated as part of the general area.
If your ball is in a bunker that the Committee has defined as ground under repair, you may take free relief outside the bunker by dropping a ball in this relief area:
- Reference Point: The nearest point of complete relief in the general area (and outside the bunker).
- Size of Relief Area measured from Reference Point: One club-length, but with these limits:
- Limits on Location of Relief Area:
- Must be in the general area,
- Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
- There must be complete relief from all interference by the ground under repair.
