205 Rule 25 25.2h Help with Dropping, Placing and Replacing Ball For a player who is blind, all Rules that require the player to drop, place or replace a ball are modified so that the player is also allowed, without limitation, to give a general authorization to any other person to drop, place and replace their ball. 25.3 Modifications for Players Who Are Amputees Purpose of Rule: Rule 25.3 allows a player who is an amputee (which means both those with limb deficiencies and those who have lost a limb) to use a prosthetic device and make a stroke while anchoring the club, and allows help with dropping, placing and replacing a ball. 25.3a Status of Prosthetic Devices Use of an artificial arm or leg is not a breach of Rule 4.3 provided the player has a medical reason to use it and the Committee decides that its use does not give the player any unfair advantage over other players (see Rule 4.3b). Players in doubt about the use of a device should raise the matter as soon as possible with the Committee. A player using a prosthetic device is still subject to the prohibitions in Rule 4.3a against using equipment in an abnormal way. 25.3b Modification of Rule 10.1b (Anchoring the Club) If a player who is an amputee is unable to hold and swing the majority of their clubs without anchoring because of limb deficiencies or limb loss, the player may make a stroke while anchoring the club, without penalty under Rule 10.1b. 25.3c Help with Dropping, Placing and Replacing Ball For a player who is an amputee, all Rules that require the player to drop, place or replace a ball are modified so that the player is also allowed, without limitation, to give a general authorization to any other person to drop, place and replace their ball. 25.3d Modification of Definition of “Replace” For a player who is an amputee, the definition of replace (and Rule 14.2b(2)) is modified to allow the player to replace the ball either by hand or by using another piece of equipment (such as rolling the ball with a club).
