THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Immovable Marker Interferes with Stance, what to do?

Larry and David were playing golf. David’s ball came to rest about 2 feet right of the 150 yard distance marker on # 5. David walked over to remove the marker, only to discover that it was fixed and immovable. He then declared that he would take relief as the marker interfered with his stance. Larry said that was not permissible, reasoning that you don’t get relief from a tree that interferes with your stance; neither should you get relief from a distance marker.

What is the correct ruling?

A. David was correct. The distance marker was a non movable obstruction. He was entitled to relief because the non movable obstruction interfered with his stance.

B. Larry was correct. Just because something makes your stance difficult, doesn't mean you get relief.
