Hi Linda,
We asked two pros this question and got two different
answers.
Is there relief when you are standing in a gopher hole in
order to address your ball?
Thanks,
Lulu
Dear Lulu,
Yes.
A gopher is a burrowing animal, so a gopher hole qualifies
as an “abnormal ground condition.” When such a condition interferes with your
stance or swing, you are entitled to free relief [Rule 25-1].
