I've figured this game out! Oh wait, no I haven't
SO yesterday I had a situation and I was not sure how to resolve it.
I hit a ball and it ended up on the cart path next to the green. Easy enough, just take relief away from the green.
The tricky but was this was a u-turn type cart path, with a narrow dirt area between the two paths.
Meaning, from left to right:
Green
Cart Path (where my ball was)
narrow dirt area (1' or so)
Cart Path
Teeing area for the next hole
I took my relief in the teeing area. I believe I probably should have dropped int eh 1' dirt area, but for a variety of reasons I didn't. (didn't want to tear up the dirt area, not a scoring round, I was unsure about the relief)
So what was the right thing to do?
