📖 RULE | Definition: Ground Under Repair
Any part of the course the Committee defines to be ground under repair (whether by marking it or otherwise).
Ground under repair also includes the following things, even if the Committee does not define them as such:
-- Any hole made by the Committee or the maintenance staff in:
1. Setting up the course (such as a hole where a stake has been removed or the hole on a double green being used for the play of another hole), or
2. Maintaining the course (such as a hole made in removing turf or a tree stump or laying pipelines, but not including aeration holes).
-- Grass cuttings, leaves and any other material piled for later removal. But:
1. Any natural materials that are piled for removal are also loose impediments, and
2. Any materials left on the course that are not intended to be removed are not ground under repair unless the Committee has defined them as such.
-- Any animal habitat (such as a bird’s nest) that is so near your ball that your stroke or stance might damage it, except when the habitat has been made by animals that are defined as loose impediments (such as worms or insects).
The edge of ground under repair should be defined by stakes or lines:
Stakes: When defined by stakes, the edge of the ground under repair is defined by the line between the outside points of the stakes at ground level, and the stakes are inside the ground under repair.
Lines: When defined by a painted line on the ground, the edge of the ground under repair is the outside edge of the line, and the line itself is in the ground under repair.
