Elimination of drop

[Dennis Harwood]

John - As stated, always placing simplifies a lot. I strongly agree that the one club length latitude is prefered to the disputes that would arise from required placing at the NPR ( where is that precise point = arguments ). I am just not sure in the "free" relief situations how the preceived advantage will be received by golfers.

I do note that Code One does specify in taking S&D relief the ball must be placed on or immeadiately beside spot last stroke played, yet under Code Two that is extended to one c/l? What is the rational of that?

All this leads to the discussion we had a few years ago re movable vs immovable obstructions and movable parts of IOs. I will question this in a separate thread.

Glad to find your site.
