Environmental
Hazard
If a player's
ball conies to rest in ground within the margins of a hazard that has been deliberately
left in a wild and natural state, whether or not that area has been officially
designated as an environmentally sensitive zone from which play is prohibited,
and the player in question has reason to believe that in making a swing he might
damage rare, threatened, or delicate species of plants, or unduly disturb or traumatise
endangered forms of animal life, he may drop his ball without penalty into an
adjacent area of the course with limited biodiversity, such as a stretch of fairway
with a monocultural planting of heavily fertilise hybridised turf grasses, where
any moderate incidental destruction of normative vegetation that may occur during
his shot is unlikely to have a significant negative impact on the global ecosystem.
