Ball
Playable in Water Hazard, but Just Not Worth It
If a player's
ball comes to rest within the margins of a water hazard in a highly playable lie
from which he is certain he could, if he so desired, hit a successful recovery
shot with no difficulty whatsoever, but the marshy, muddy, swampy, or boggy state
of the surrounding terrain makes it inevitable that in the execution of such a
stroke, he himself, his clothing, or his equipment would be extensively soiled
and/or soaked, or that he would be obliged to assume a stance requiring the time-consuming
removal of his footgear or other elaborate preparations, he may move his ball,
without penalty, to the nearest equally favourable lie inside the hazard where
conditions are sufficiently dry to permit prudent, sensible, and reasonable play.
