BALL MOVING IN TEMPORARY WATER

"IF A FLOW OF WATER CARRIES A BALL OUT OF BOUNDS, THE PLAYER MUST TAKE STROKE-AND-DISTANCE RELIEF"

- 

This month we're highlighting two Clarifications to the Rules that it's worth knowing if you find your ball in temporary water that is flowing strongly enough to cause it to move. One could work to your advantage and the other might leave you feeling a little hard done by. We explain them both here.

First, it's a rainy day and there's a large amount of temporary water on the course. Your ball has landed in a mini river heading across the fairway. It's flowing so strongly that your ball is moving.
