*NOTICE ON MARKING THE REFERENCE POINT*: I may have given the impression that marking the reference point is mandatory. It is not required to mark the reference point. BUT, it is certainly best practice and still recommended.
📖 RULE 15.2a(2) Relief When Ball is in or on Movable Obstruction Anywhere on Course Except on Putting Green:
The player may take relief by lifting the ball, removing the movable obstruction and dropping the original ball or another ball in this relief area:
--Reference Point: The estimated point right under where the ball was at rest in or on the movable obstruction.
--Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: One club-length, but with these limits:
--Limits on Location of Relief Area:
------ Must be in the same area of the course as the reference point, and
------ Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point.
📖DEFINITION: Movable Obstruction
An obstruction (artificial object) that can be moved with reasonable effort and without damaging the obstruction or the course.
If part of an 'immovable obstruction' or 'integral object' (such as a gate or door or part of an attached cable) meets these two standards, that part is treated as a movable obstruction.
But, this does not apply if the movable part of an immovable obstruction or integral object is not meant to be moved (such as loose stone that is part of a stone wall).
Even when an obstruction is movable, the committee may define it to be an immovable obstruction.
