Rules of Golf discussions and meanings • Re: Relief from a pylon under Rule 24-2a
Read Decision 24-2b/11 for a somewhat analogous situation. It seems to suggest that the player would be entitled to relief.999Q wrote:A pylon on the course is of a size where it is possible for a ball to be at rest underneath it in a lie where there is no interference from the structure to the player's lie, stance or area of intended swing. May the player take relief under Rule 24-2a, because the ball lies within the boundary of an imaginary line drawn between the four legs of the pylon and can therefore be considered to be in the immovable obstruction?

The club could make it easier for the players if they made a local Rule clarifying that such a ball was within the IO, or by deeming that area within as GUR.
In general, I find that many club committees are lax in proper marking/defining of conditions on their golf course, and that is disappointing.
