THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Larry and David continued playing golf. This time it was Larry’s ball came that came to rest about 3 feet directly behind the 150 yard distance marker on #8. As had already been determined, the distance markers on the course were immovable obstructions. The obstruction was within Larry’s line of play. Larry declared he was going to take relief just as David had done at hole # 5 when the immovable obstruction on that hole interfered with David’s stance. David informed Larry that he was not entitled to relief. Let’s just say that the conversation got a bit heated and the words “cheater” and “make up rules as you go” was repeated more than once.

What is the correct ruling?
