Unnecessary
Rough
Any irregular
and uneven ground having ruts, pits, and furrows, or expanses of excessively tall,
deep, or dense grass, or clumps of thick stubble is deemed to constitute an improper
playing condition, and a ball coming to rest therein may be kicked without penalty
to the nearest playable lie under the following circumstances:
1. If the ground
in question occupies the most logical place on a hole for a well-hit drive to
land when it is aimed in such a way as to achieve the maximum distance while avoiding
bunkers, wooded or brushy terrain, or ground lying out-of-bounds
2. If the ground
in question occupies the only feasible position on a hole toward which a ball
may be directed for safe play in the vicinity of a water hazard
3. If the ground
in question lies within or cuts across a fairway or separates two sections of
fairway from each other
4. If the ground
in question occupies the part of a hole lying directly across the green from a
deep or steep-sided bunker out of which a successful explosion shot is liable
to be hit with excessive force
5. If it is clearly
ridiculous to play out of the ground in question.
