Another golf rule via Fred


A member advised he was confused as to whether worm casts were loose impediments, each in our group had a different solution. Unfortunately the correct answer may be just as confusing.
Loose impediment are defined as natural objects including Stones; leaves; twigs and the like.
Dung and insects and also the casts and heaps made by them are loose impediments provided (and here is the crunch for your decision) they are not fixed or growing, solidly embedded or adhered to the ball.
Sand and loose soil are loose impediment on the putting green but not elsewhere. Snow and natural ice, other than frost are either Casual water or loose impediments, (the players Option). Sheriff
