He consulted one player that he was with if he is entitled to relief with out penalty. The player agreed that he is entitled to a free drop, which he did. The other two members of the foursome dis-agreed when they saw the player drop his and assessed his with a penalty. Their reason is that they should have been consulted also. What is the right ruling in this case? Thank you. In a four some, a player’s ball come to rest near a man made net which interferes with his swing.

Our Rules person at our club is telling us to "place" the ball. Since the ball is not on the green can one do this?? When the local rule is in effect and relief is taken, Can the player

“place his ball” or must he “drop his ball” no nearer the hole

then where his oriogional ball lies. Our Rules person at our

club is telling us to “place” the ball. Since the ball is not on

the green can one do this??
