 Rule 24 Obstructions 24-3 Ball in Obstruction Not Found It is a question of fact whether a ball that has not been found after having been struck toward an obstruction is in the obstruction. In order to apply this Rule, it must be known or virtually certain that the ball is in the obstruction. In the absence of such knowledge or certainty, the player must proceed under Rule 27-1. (A) Ball in Movable Obstruction Not Found If it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in a movable obstruction, the player may substitute another ball and take relief, without penalty, under this Rule. If he elects to do so , he must remove the obstruction and through the green or in a hazard drop a ball, or on the putting green place a ball, as near as possible to the spot directly under the place where the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the movable obstruction, but not nearer the hole. (B) Ball in Immovable Obstruction Not Found If it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in an immovable obstruction, the player may take relief under this Rule. If he elects to do so, the spot where the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the obstruction must be determined and, for the purpose of applying this Rule, the ball is deemed to lie at this spot and the player must proceed as follows: Through the Green: If the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the immovable obstruction at a spot through the green, the player may substitute another ball, without penalty, and take relief as prescribed in Rule 24-2b(i). In a Bunker: If the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the immovable obstruction at a spot in a bunker, the player may substitute another ball, without penalty, and take relief as prescribed in Rule 24-2b(ii). In a Water Hazard (including a Lateral Water Hazard): If the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the immovable obstruction at a spot in a water hazard, the player is not entitled to relief without penalty. The player must proceed under Rule 26-1. On the Putting Green: If the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the immovable obstruction at a spot on the putting green, the player may substitute another ball, without penalty, and take relief as prescribed in Rule 24-2b(iii). PENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE:
 Reasons they’re lucky to date a golfer - 14 Reasons Golfers who take their game seriously have numerous characteristics that translate well into relationships. Here are a few of our favorite reasons why they are lucky to date a golfer. 1 – Golfers learn from their mistakes If you leave your birdie putt short on the 3rd, we know you’re likely to send your next attempt flying past the flag on the 4th. So yes we might forget the odd anniversary or leave the toilet seat up, but we’re unlikely to do it again! 2 – Golfers don’t dwell on the past Not only do golfers learn from their mistakes, we also understand the importance of being able to put them behind us and move on to the next hole. That means we’re quick to apologise if we’re in the wrong, and we’re much less likely to sulk if things don’t go our way. 3 – Golfers are rarely late We know being on time is important, after all, if we’re late on the tee we’ll get a penalty, or even disqualified. That means if we say we’ll be somewhere, we’ll be there. 4 – Golfers aren’t afraid of commitment ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again’ is a mantra that could have been thought up by any golfer. Instant success in golf is rare, near on impossible. So once we’re in, we’re in for the long haul. 5 – Golfers are honest, old-fashioned gentleman Would a racing driver radio in to the stewards telling them he jumped a red light, or a footballer own up to a dive? The answer to both is a resounding no. But in golf players often call penalties on themselves, and are applauded for doing so. Throw in handshakes, removing of hats and general politeness and you know with a golfer you’re in safe hand. 6 – Golfers aren’t quick to judge Golfers know that people shouldn’t be judged on a handicap alone, and so can quickly look past any obvious assessment and discover the whole story. That means golfers have both great people and parenting skills. 7 – Golfers are patient We all know that patience is great quality to have in any relationship, and thankfully us golfers know how to deal with frustration… and lots of it. On the course and off it, there will be good days and bad days, and we know how to make the most of both. 8 – Golfers value consistency Strong relationships and great rounds are both built on the same foundation; consistency. You know it’s no good undoing the hard work of a birdie with a double bogey at the next, and it’s that same ethos that makes a golfer the type of person you can count on through thick and thin. 9 – Golfers can switch on and off Being able to control your focus between shots can be a huge advantage on the golf course, and it’s the same back at home. Leaving your work troubles at the office and coming home in a positive mindset reduces the risk of any petty arguments and strengthens your relationship. 10 – Golfers are great at assessing risk There’s many ways to golf your ball, and it’s all about judging the conditions on the day. Soft greens? Wind off the left? Tricky pin position? Golfers know when to play safe and when they can be aggressive. This analytical mindset is great when it comes to big life decisions like buying a house or raising your children. 11 – Golfers are great talkers That awkward moment when you bump into her old school friends or get dragged along to his annual work party, and who’s there to save the day? Golfers are. Only a small portion of a three to four hour round is spent slicing our tee shots and searching in trees, the rest is peppered with small talk, often with people we’ve never met, which means we’re pretty damn good at talking. 12 – Golfers remember that little things matter She’s got an important meeting at work. It’s your anniversary. It’s her mum’s birthday. Don’t worry, we hadn’t forgotten. Us golfers know the small things, like a two-footer, matter just as much as big things, like a 250-yard drive. 13 – Golfers like to be tucked up in bed on a Saturday night While we’ve all tried to play hungover, we know that to perform our best in the Sunday medal we need to be rested and alert, so, on the whole, we’ll opt for a night in with you watching TV, over going out and getting hammered. 14 – Golfers know their strengths and weaknesses Golf’s handicap system encourages self-improvement, so it’s no surprise that golfers are more aware of their strengths and weaknesses and how best to use them to further their careers and improve their relationships.
