Cart path relief

[chaps]

When getting relief from a cart path, your drop lands more than 1 club length but less than 2 away, no closer to the hole. Is this a legal drop?

If the new position provides you complete relief, then yes.

Check Rule 20c.

Do you mean comes to rest or first hits the ground?

Not necessarily.

Where it comes to rest.

There are a whole load of other reasons why you may need to redrop in Rule 20-2c

But you will find your answer in there

Away from what exactly?

Away from what exactly?

Your nearest point of relief.

If all these conditions are satisfied then it's 'legal'

20-2c. When to Re-Drop
A dropped ball must be re-dropped without penalty if it:
(i) rolls into and comes to rest in a hazard; (ii) rolls out of and comes to rest outside a hazard; (iii) rolls onto and comes to rest on a putting green; (iv) rolls and comes to rest out of bounds; (v) rolls to and comes to rest in a position where there is interference by the condition from which relief was taken under Rule 24-2b (immovable obstruction), Rule 25-1 (abnormal ground conditions), Rule 25-3 (wrong putting green) or a Local Rule (Rule 33-8a), or rolls back into the pitch-mark from which it was lifted under Rule 25-2 (embedded ball); (vi) rolls and comes to rest more than two club-lengths from where it first struck a part of the course; or (vii) rolls and comes to rest nearer the hole than: (a) its original position or estimated position (see Rule 20-2b) unless otherwise permitted by the Rules; or (b) the nearest point of relief or maximum available relief (Rule 24-2, 25-1 or 25-3); or (c) the point where the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard or lateral water hazard (Rule 26-1). If the ball when re-dropped rolls into any position listed above, it must be placed as near as possible to the spot where it first struck a part of the course when re-dropped.
