Relief from cart
paths Submitted by the Education
Committee
Definition:
A cart path is considered an obstruction if any foreign
material has been used to construct it.
Example: Paths made of cement, tar, wood
chips, planks or gravel are obstructions.
A dirt or sand path is not, so you're NOT entitled to move the
ball off these paths without penalty.
Q - When can I get relief?
A - If the cart path interferes with your ball, stance or
swing, you can drop the ball (without penalty) within one
club-length of the nearest point where you can stand and swing
without interference from the path, as long as it's not any closer
to the hole.
You can play your next shot from the path if you wish.
However, if you want to move the ball you have to play from a spot
where you're totally clear of the path, not from a spot where you
are still touching the path.
Q - So where do I drop?
A - If depends on the club you need for the next shot, whether
you're making a left-handed or right-handed swing and how close the
ball is to one side of the path or the other. In most cases,
if a ball is closer to one side of the path, the nearest point of
relief will be on that side, too.
Look at your ball in relation to the hole and its position on
the path. Determine the nearest point that allows you to stand
and make the swing you need for your next shot. If it's a
right-handed shot, you CAN'T pretend your next shot would have been
made left-handed to get a better drop.
Do you have other rules questions?
