106 Rule 13 See Committee Procedures, Section 8; Model Local Rule I-2 (the Committee may adopt a Local Rule prohibiting a player from rolling a ball on the putting green of the hole just completed.) 13.1f Relief Must Be Taken fromWrong Green (1) Meaning of Interference by Wrong Green. Interference under this Rule exists when: • Any part of the player’s ball touches a wrong green or lies on or in anything (such as a loose impediment or an obstruction) and is inside the edge of a wrong green, or • A wrong green physically interferes with the player’s area of intended stance or area of intended swing. (2) Relief Must Be Taken. When there is interference by a wrong green, a player must not play the ball as it lies. Instead, the player must take free relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in this relief area (see Rule 14.3): • Reference Point: The nearest point of complete relief in the same area of the course where the original ball came to rest. • 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, » Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and » There must be complete relief from all interference by the wrong green. (3) No Relief When Clearly Unreasonable. There is no relief under Rule 13.1f if interference exists only because the player chooses a club, type of stance or swing or direction of play that is clearly unreasonable under the circumstances. Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Rule 13.1f: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a. See Committee Procedures, Section 8; Model Local Rule D-3 (the Committee may adopt a Local Rule denying relief from a wrong green that only interferes with the area of intended stance).
