True or False?

1. On the 3rd hole, you hit your second shot a little too hard and it rolls off the back of the green and comes to rest in-bounds but up against one of the posts of the split rail fence that defines out-of-bounds. You do not get free relief from the split rail fence because it is a boundary object.

2. On the 7th hole, you hit your tee shot to the left and it comes to rest on the fringe of the putting green for the 8th hole. Because you are playing the 7th hole, you may not stand on the 8th putting green to make a stroke.

3. You pull your tee shot on the 8th hole to the left and your ball comes to rest 10 feet behind an electrical control box that is directly on your line of play. Because the box intervenes on your line of play for your next stroke, you get free relief.

4. On the 15th hole, a short par 4, you hit an iron off the tee and your ball comes to rest in the fairway, just outside one of several Indian Mounds on the course. The Notice to Players says that all Indian Mounds are “no-play zones in abnormal course conditions.” As you take your stance you discover that you will need to stand on part of the Indian Mound to play your next shot. You are permitted to stand on part of the mound to make your next stroke, so long as your club does not touch the mound during your stroke.

5. On the 15th hole, your partner hits his tee shot to the right and it comes to rest near the rock wall that is supporting the 14th hole tee box. As your partner sets up to make a stroke, he realizes that his backswing will strike the rock wall. Your partner may take free relief.

6. On the 16th hole, an uphill par 3, you chunk your tee shot and it comes to rest in the general area, but in the Three Bears Indian Mound. The Notice to Players says that all Indian Mounds are “no-play zones in abnormal course conditions.” One of your options for taking free relief from the Indian Mound is to drop a ball behind the spot where the original ball came to rest, keeping the spot of the original ball between the hole and the spot where the ball is dropped.

7. On the 17th hole, you hit your second shot left and it comes to rest in-bounds but against one of the fence posts in the split rail fence defining out-of-bounds. Although you are a right-handed player, you determine that your only way to make a stroke is to play a left-handed shot. When you take your stance for the left-handed shot, you notice that your club would hit a telephone pole that is on the course, during your follow-through. You are allowed to take free relief from the telephone pole.

8. The match is tied as you head to the 18th hole, a short uphill par-3. You hit what you think is a great shot, but because the green is elevated, you cannot see where it came to rest. Your partner then hits his tee shot. Your opponents then point out that their side had the honor at the 18th hole and that because both you and your partner had played out of turn in breach of Rule 6.4a(1) the strokes were cancelled. You and your partner disagree and refuse to play another tee shot. Your opponents then both hit their tee shots into the front bunker. When you get to the putting green you discover that your ball is in the hole. Because you and your partner played in the wrong order, and refused to play again in the correct order, you lose the hole and accordingly lose the match.
