The ball may be cleaned when so lifted

Obstructions - Rule 24

  • Stones in bunkers are movable obstructions; Rule 24-1 applies.

In addition, if such an obstruction on or within two clubs lengths of the putting green of the hole being played intervenes on the line of play between the ball and the hole, the player may obtain relief, without penalty, as follows: If the ball lies off the green but not in a hazard and is within two clubs lengths of the intervening obstruction, it may be lifted, cleaned and dropped at the nearest point to where the ball lay which (a) is not nearer the hole, (b) avoids such interference and (c) is not in a hazard or on the putting green.

Preferred Lies/Winter Rules
