Replace "lie" with "CATS" and you are good for the the money. It is not just lie, it is improving line of play (take out lump of sand in front of ball), make a mark to show line of play, build a stance by piling up sand, that sort of thing.

Refer 1.2a.... integrity, spirit of the game etc. You can't be taking a stance if unable to reach the ball with a club.

I tried that approach with the definition of "stance." The USGA says "no." They say that basically anything you do with your feet is fine.

Just don't affect the CATS.
