Rules of Golf discussions and meanings • Re: Moving a white out of bounds stake
As an aside the new recently announced rules allows the player to replace the OB stake and avoid penalty - which is not our current rules position.
"""If a player has improved the conditions affecting the stroke by moving, bending or breaking an object in breach of Rule 8.1a(1) or moving an object into position in breach of Rule 8.1a(2):
There is no penalty if, before making the next stroke, the player eliminates that improvement by restoring the original conditions in the ways allowed in (1) and (2) below. "
How to Restore Conditions Improved by Moving, Bending or Breaking Object.
Before making the stroke, the player may avoid penalty for breach of Rule 8.1a(1) by restoring the original object as nearly as possible to its original position so that the improvement created by the breach is eliminated, such as by:
1• Replacing a boundary object (such as a boundary stake) that had been removed or moving the boundary object back into its original position after it had been pushed to a different angle, or
2• Returning a tree branch or grass, or an immovable obstruction to its original position after it had been moved.
