what if?

IF! And it’s a big if, the club can make a local rule, what if you could make a personal rule! What would it be?

I would make a tree an immovable obstruction allowing free relief!

USGA logic!
A tree is immovable!
A tree is an obstruction!
But a tree is not an immovable obstruction!
Go figure

Also any bare patch of ground would be deemed ground under repair, entitling free relief!
