Rule Question on Dropping From Casual Water in Golf
A golfer finds a ball in casual water through the green after a drive into a dry ditch. The ball was dropable with no penalty since found in casual water. If re dropping after contact with the player or bag, no penalty applies per rule. A second re drop is allowed without penalty if it again meets the rules.
