2 rules questions from playing yesterday...

[Kilroy]

How's that different from a pile of sand at the edge of the fairway in my original question

Grandstands are a termporary immovable obstruction. Different from GUR, and does allow for line of sight relief.

[DCH]

Ther is no rule giving relief for line of sight.

I can't see any mention of line of siight relief in the Rules of Golf Specimen Local Rule Appendix I Part B 6 Temporary Obstructions

[Kilroy]

II. Interference
Interference by a temporary immovable obstruction occurs when (a) the ball lies in front of and so close to the obstruction that the obstruction interferes with the player’s stance or the area of his intended swing, or (b) the ball lies in, on, under or behind the obstruction so that any part of the obstruction intervenes directly between the player’s ball and the hole; interference also exists if the ball lies within one club-length of a spot equidistant from the hole where such intervention would exist.


Of course this is ONLY for temporary obstructions; Examples of temporary immovable obstructions include, but are not limited to, tents, scoreboards, grandstands, television towers and lavatories

Thanks, my reading is as good as my putting !

But a pile of dirt from ground under repair is not a temporary obstruction?

FORGET ABOUT TEMPORARY OBSTRUCTIONS!!!!!

You have NEVER played on a course that has one!!
You will NEVER play on a course that has one!!

DO remember this: YOU GET NO LINE OF SIGHT RELIEF UNDER THE RULES OF GOLF!!

A pile of dirt made by a Greenkeeper is Ground Under Repair.
