On a green where more than one hole has been cut (or a hole with plastic cover) and the hole interferes with the line of putt, the ball may be lifted and placed at the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole in play. Should the ball come to rest in the hole not in play the ball shall be lifted and placed not nearer to the hole in play. The drainage hole on the 7th green should be treated as a hole cut on the green.
Abnormal ground conditions (rule 25-1):
Any staked tree that interferes with a players stance or area of swing.
Tyre ruts. Definition of a tyre rut: a furrow made by wheels.
Drainage ditches: No relief may be taken. Ball must be played as it lies.

Embedded ball: Rule 25-2 applies through the green
Definition: ‘Through the green’ is the whole area of the course except the teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played and all hazards on the course.
Practice areas:
The practice putting green and the greens on the practice ground are to be treated as a putting green other than the hole being played.
A ball coming to rest on the practice ground (except for the greens) must be played as it lies. For clarity, the sand areas are integral parts of the course and the ball must be played as it lies.
Distance measuring devices:
For all play at this course, a player may obtain distance information by use of a distance-measuring device. If, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g. elevation changes, wind speed, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3.
