I'd have taken relief, probably. You decide what interference is, they don't. Unless you're in a competition, and an official can help make sure you get it right. Or you might play two balls, under Rule 20.1c(3), if you're in a competition and want to be certain you get it right. Of course, your Nearest Point of Complete Relief and Relief Area might have been further into the bush, in which case I'd have played it as it was. -

I was out at the wknd on a course that I had never played before in a society. My tee shot came to rest between line of golden furz bushes and cart path. I looked at the lie and figured I could advance this ball nicely down the fairway. It wasnt the bush that was bothering me but the cart path. Playing partners were high handicappers ( I'll explain why this was relevant ) and only issue they saw was the bush, not the fact that my ball was about 12" from the edge of the path right along the OOB line. They could not see how a concrete path that was almost 1ft in front of my ball could be deemed to be interfering with my swing. I have spent lot of time and money to get my swing where I am coming down on the ball with -3 or -4 Deg angle of attack and bottoming out maybe 4 to 5" in front of the ball. My club was most definitely going to catch the path. The two guys I was with couldnt grasp this and said any relief I get would be from the bush ( 1 drop shot ) and not free relief from the path which because if they were hitting it then they would have no issue with the path. ie High handicappers only see whats behind the ball, not whats in front of it. Ask a scratch golfer to hit a ball 3" infront of a concrete path. Easy, just hit it cause they are not concerned with whats behind the ball as they will be striking a descending blow. High handicapper on the other hand is going to be coming down in most cases a few inches behind the ball and will be put off by the path behind the ball. I just punched it out from where it was as didnt want to upset any one. So in short what would you have done. ? -

Ok thanks. I’ll be home in a few days after a several months traveling and once I get settled in I’ll be hitting the local courses and I’ll check with the area golf shops. A lot has changed in the last 30 years and I have some catching up to do.
