Transcript excerpt

If there's one rule you need to know, it's this one. So you draw a bad line in the rough, but you have interference with a sprinkler head. You decide to take free relief and realize that your one club length reaches the fairway. Are you allowed to take relief from the rough and drop it in the fairway? Absolutely. In fact, this is the exact scenario used in the rules to illustrate that this is allowed. The rough and fairway are treated as the same areas of the worse, and if taking relief results in you getting better conditions, like a better lie or line of play, then it's just your lucky day.
