How to Take Relief from an Unmovable Object

I have not accomplished a number of posts approximately the Rules of Golf so I'm going to try to do better. Today I have a video from Michael Breed on how to take remedy from an unmovable object -- in this example, a plaque within the center of the green. (Could have been a sprinkler head as nicely.)

This one's a fairly easy be counted. Just:

  1. determine your nearest point of relief no closer to the hole,
  2. measure one club length from that point -- again, no closer to the hole -- and
  3. drop within that club length NO CLOSER TO THE HOLE. Voila! The ball is in play.
Note Michael's demonstration of the difference between a rightie and a leftie taking relief. The secret is that the ball has to remain as near its unique function as possible whilst taking alleviation. In this case, that means the leftie takes relief on the opposite side of the plaque than the rightie.

I'll try to publish more regulations motion pictures -- particularly on taking relief, when you consider that the ones have a tendency to be the maximum complicated troubles -- as we move along.
