Q. The player has interference from an immovable obstruction, but does that mean they are always entitled to free relief?
.
A. No.
There is no free relief when the stroke is unreasonable, e.g. the shot is to hit a ball straight out of bounds, or straight into a tree.
There is no free relief if the stroke or stance is abnormal for the golfer and not reasonable.
There is no free relief if the immovable obstruction is in a penalty area.
In all these scenarios, relief would be denied.
Rule 16.1.
