Experimental
Shot
When a ball comes
to rest in a lie that precludes the execution of a conventional golf stroke, a
player may elect to attempt an experimental shot incorporating an innovative manner
of gripping or swinging the club or a novel means of addressing the ball. If as
a result of this inventive and enterprising play the ball fails to move at all,
or comes to rest in a position substantially worse than the one it previously
occupied, he may then declare his ball unplayable and proceed to drop it in the
nearest playable lie without assessing an additional stroke, provided he clearly
states before commencing his swing that his sole motivation in undertaking what
appears to be a greedy and idiotic shot is an unselfish desire to add a hitherto
unknown method of striking the ball to the general body of golfing knowledge for
the ultimate benefit of players everywhere.
