Remove penalties for grounding club in a hazard

[ocepek]

A player gains only minimum advantage by grounding a club in a hazard. It is difficult to prove one way or the other if a player lightly brushes the sand on his back stroke because the evidence is erased with the forward stroke. Also if a ball is in a water hazard and the player can touch growing things and attached things but not loose impediments it is difficult to judge either way. It is hard to imagine for example that a player can touch green grass in a hazard and not touch small insects, seeds or other very small loose impediments on that green grass. Same thing when playing a ball off of an immovable obstruction in a water hazard. It is virtually impossible to rest a club on a bridge over a water hazard and not touch small loose impediments. Just let the player play the ball as it lies and let them ground the club as long as they do not move the ball in the process. Should also be able to remove loose impediments in a hazard same as anywhere else. This would allow deletion of many rules, notes and decisions concerning these matters.
