Relief from Termite Mound

[joekelly]

Yes, looked like a large rock stuck in mother earth but i knew better.  It was an old, weathered and gray upright termite mound, maybe a meter tall. I saw no termites on the hill.  I did recall the Rules which permit free relief from worm casts and crawfish holes so figured all animal constructions count in the same category.  I dropped behind the mound one club length and carried on.

Correct?

Correct?

Possibly or even probably.

You should have dropped within one club length of the nearest point of relief (not nearer the hole).

Depending on where your ball lay, this may have been to one side or the other. But in this case where you played from may well have satisfied that requirement.
