Free relief position via Fred February 22nd 2016

23^rd February 2016. Free relief position.

I’m lucky I can get free relief from this sapling, so I shall establish relief here and then I get a clear shot to the green missing that big tree!

Check! And Check again!

Free relief is the nearest position the ball would lie such that using the club you would expect to use for your next stroke, the interference that gives relief does not exist.

Clearly not the position of the club-head, and a club length to position “B”

For a right-handed player the nearest point of relief is point “C” with one club length to point “D. The large tree has no influence on this analysis the player in the sketch is playing from the wrong place and subject to the appropriate penalty. The Sheriff
