GRQOTW128:
David has nothing to answer for. He has the ability to change his mind if the removal of the tree meant his ball didn't move. When choosing to take an unplayble, the player has the ability to get to their ball, and if in the process the ball is moved, there is no penalty.
GRQOTW129:Andy the Average Golfer is playing at Wombat Hills GC after an overnight rain.His ball lies on wet compacted sand in a bunker on the first hole. Thinking “lift, rake and place” is an option under the circumstances, Andy lifts his ball, rakes the area fluffing the sand, replaces the ball on the original spot, and plays his ball successfully from the bunker. How many penalty strokes, if any, does Andy incur?

ON TOUR - Blakey was in Qatar, and Stuart was in Melbourne. Sand aplenty in Doha, and plenty of rain in Melbourne, but just because it’s rough, doesn’t mean it’s abnormal - THE GRQ PODCAST EP128
Episode 128 of the GolfRules Questions Podcast was all about Podcast and Blakey being on tour.
Podcast had some stories from the Australian Open, held at Kingston Heath, where there was a lot of talk about pace of play, and soft course conditions, whilst Blakey was over in Qatar with the Asian Tour, where the main rulings were what is considered abnormal in the desert.So whether you are eating an ice cream or taking the dog for a walk, enjoy listening to the golfrules questions podcast
ON TOUR - Blakey was in Qatar, and Stuart was in Melbourne. Sand aplenty in Doha, and plenty of rain in Melbourne, but just because it’s rough, doesn’t mean it’s abnormal - THE GRQ PODCAST EP128
GRQOTW 127 A - Jeff may require Stuart to lift Stuart’s ball if Jeff reasonably believes it might interfere with Jeff’s play.
GRQPTW128 - David finds his tee shot in a terrible lie, with a large unattached tree branch right beside his ball. He says that he is going to take an unplayable, but then moves the tree branch and this causes his ball to move. Stuart didn’t like this procedure and wants David to add two penalty strokes to his score, one for causing his ball to move, and one for the unplayable. David is adamant that he was just moving the branch to get to his ball. But Stuart believes that had David moved the unattached tree branch and David’s ball had not moved, he would have played it as it lies. They call you in to decide, what is your decision?
