Transcript excerpt

You were able to stay out of the penalty area, but what about this bridge? Do you get free relief from this obstruction even though it's in the penalty area? You're allowed free relief from immovable obstructions anywhere on the course except when your ball is in the penalty area. So if the ball was in the penalty area, there'd be no free relief from the bridge. You'd either have to play it as it lies or use one of your options for penalty area relief. But since this ball is not in the penalty area, free relief would be allowed. So just remember, it's not about the location of the obstruction, it's all about the location of the ball.
