Lateral Water Hazards

[aaa]

Option c(ii) is not commonly used because the ball rarely crosses a 'normal' lateral from the far side.

We had a lwh bounded by an old railway embankment on the far side. A not too wayward drive often carried the lwh, hit the embankment and bounced back into the water. Access to the far side was virtually impossible. Without c(ii), the player hitting over (ie longer) than a player whose ball simply ran into the hazard, would be unfairly treated by having to take S&Distance.
