He gets relief from an animal as an Outside Agency. A drop would be allowed without penalty. It cannot be closer to the hole. If the ball is in a hazard, the drop would be allowed either in the same hazard or another similar hazard, as long as it isn't closer to the hole.

What is the Procedures for taking relief from casual water hazard in golf?

There is no such thing as a casual water hazard, there is either casual water or a water hazard. Casual water is anywhere through the green where you take your stance and what is clearly visible. To get relief from this you get a one club length drop from the nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole. A water hazard is usually marked with yellow stakes. If you are in the water hazard you have the option to play the ball or take a penalty drop (1 stroke) You can * Take a two club length drop, from the nearest point of relief (which is the spot where you are no longer in the hazard) * Use the designated drop zone * Go back to as near as possible to where you played that previous shot from * or, go back as far back as you want, keeping the point where your ball entered the hazard between yourself and the pin and play another shot. (you can't drop in another hazard)


When playing golf on Sunday my ball landed on a path in which you get free relief My nearest point of relief would have put me in the middle of a large conifer tree What should happen?

b. Relief Except when the ball is in a water hazard or a lateral water hazard, a player may take relief from interference by an immovable obstruction as follows: (i) Through the Green: If the ball lies through the green, the player must lift the ball and drop it, without penalty, within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief. The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a putting green. When the ball is dropped within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of the course at a spot that avoids interference by the immovable obstruction and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.

Can you drop a ball in a hazard if it is lying in vehicle track marks?

This question requires more information...as there are different types of "hazards" that can be involved. For instance, a sand trap is a hazard, and the ball must be played "as it lies", without being touched or moved, even if it is in a tire mark or footprint. If a ball is within the marked hazard boundaries such as a swampy area, again the ball must be played as it lies. The player can take relief from the hazard by declaring the ball unplayable, and is subject to a penalty stroke. In any case if a ball is clearly within the marked hazard (red or yellow stakes), the ball must be played as it lies and the club may not be "grounded" prior to taking the stroke. This is why it is important to be courteous to other golfers and repair club and foot marks in a sand trap. If the tire mark is within a "ground under repair" area that is clearly marked, the ball may be lifted and placed within 2 club lengths without penalty.
