| what's the rule if you hit a light post on the course? i'm thinking that since it is an immovable obstruction, you just play it as it lies and you can get a free lift if it's in the way of your normal swing....my friends and i usually are friendly and replay it but that doesn't seem right either.... |

| If your golf ball hit lamp post, and land anywhere, play it as it lies. If your golf ball land near lamp post, play it as it lies. If friendly game, and to speed up play, get relief..... with 1 stroke penalty  |

is there such a local rule in NSRCC?
as far as i know i think only the lamp posts in army hole #9 might deflect your ball into the water harzards.
lamp posts in nsrcc are immovable obstruction (refer to the back of the score cards) and should be under rule 24-2.
24-2. Immovable Obstruction
• a. Interference
Interference by an immovable obstruction occurs when a ball lies in or on the obstruction, or when the obstruction interferes with the player’s stance or the area of his intended swing. If the player’s ball lies on the putting green, interference also occurs if an immovable obstruction on the putting green intervenes on his line of putt. Otherwise, intervention on the line of play is not, of itself, interference under this Rule.
• b. Relief
Except when the ball is in a water hazard or a lateral water hazard, a player may take relief from interference by an immovable obstruction. |

| If your ball hits the lamp post and it lands in the hazard, there is no free lift. The penalty for water hazard rule applies here. However, if you ball hits the lamp post and lands next to the lamp post, and it interferes with your swing, or flight of the ball, you get a free lift.  |

actually u only get free relief if it interferes with the stance or swing NOT if it is in the line of your intended ball flight.
