Getting the most out of the rules - Casual Water




You're bound to face many wet situations on the course during the spring and early summer, but when the course is overly saturated the Rules of Golf allow for relief without penalty. Here are a few instances where casual water gives you a free drop.

Casual water is a temporary collection of water on the course (other than dew and permanent water hazards) that is not necessarily visible. If your ball lies in visible water, or in taking your stance water comes to the surface (without having to press down excessively), determine the nearest point of clearance from the casual water not nearer to the hole and lift and drop the ball within one club-length of that clearance point.

The same holds true on the putting green. Find the nearest point of maximum relief not closer to the hole, nor in a hazard, that gives you clearance to the hole and place the ball. Please note that such a point of maximum relief could be off the putting green on the fringe. Where you place the ball must also be the closest point of relief to your original location. This means that you cannot give yourself an advantage of placing the ball in a spot that gives you an "easier" putt if that spot is farther away from the original location than another point of relief that sets up a "tougher" putt.
