Rule x 215 Definitions Areas of the Course The five defined areas that make up the course: • The general area, • The teeing area the player must play from in starting the hole they are playing, • All penalty areas, • All bunkers, and • The putting green of the hole the player is playing. Ball-Marker An artificial object when used to mark the spot of a ball to be lifted, such as a tee, a coin, an object made to be a ball-marker or another small piece of equipment. When a Rule refers to a ball-marker being moved, this means a ball-marker in place on the course to mark the spot of a ball that has been lifted and not yet replaced. Boundary Object Artificial objects defining or showing out of bounds, such as walls, fences, stakes and railings, from which free relief is not allowed. This includes any base and post of a boundary fence, but does not include: • Angled supports or guy wires that are attached to a wall or fence, or • Any gate, steps, bridge or similar construction used for getting over or through the wall or fence. Boundary objects are treated as immovable even if they are movable or any part of them is movable (see Rule 8.1a). Boundary objects are not obstructions or integral objects. Bunker A specially prepared area of sand, which is often a hollow from which turf or soil was removed. These are not part of a bunker: • A lip, wall or face at the edge of a prepared area and consisting of soil, grass, stacked turf or artificial materials, • Soil or any growing or attached natural object inside the edge of a prepared area (such as grass, bushes or trees),
