I hit a drive along the edge of a hazard but it was outside the stakes. The problem was that the lie was horrible. I hoped the solution was the red stake right in my stance. I wanted a drop away from the stake, my playing 'buddy' pulled the stake out and said theres your relief. I figured he was right and slashed it out.....but it got me thinking....could I have taken a drop?

Never use a paragraph when a sentence will do.

Nope. Movable obstruction.

Situation would have been even worse if it had been a white stake.
