are the stakes which mark a hazard considering movable obstructions or loose impediments?

ball is in the first cut of rough, just off a water hazard on a hole with a sharp dogleg. the 2 foot stake is directly between the ball and hole and may interfere with the projected ball path. can i move the stake marking the hazard line?

i know i should know this but i don't.

Yes. It's a man-made moveable obstruction.

Just remember that OB markers (stakes, walls, fences) are deemed fixed an not movable and no relief can be taken from them.

that's why i was confused. I know OB markers can't be moved but i thought that water hazard markers could be

I thought you can only move the obstruction if it interferes with stance or swing, not the path of the ball. I know that's the case for immovable obstructions - is it not true for movable obstructions as well?

Well if it interferes with the path of the ball that close...it would have to interfere with swing.

No, that's not true at all. A 3-foot tall yardage marker 5 feet in front of where your ball lies, for example, is easily tall enough to be hit by the ball in flight.

Movable obstructions can be moved even if there's no interference.

Additionally to previous replies, note that some course committees do deem their hazard stakes to be immovable obstructions.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
