A \u201cclosely-mown area\u201d is any area of the course that is cut to fairway height or less and includes paths cut through the rough and the fringe\/apron around the green. If the ball does not lie on a closely-mown area, e.g. the rough, the player cannot take a preferred lie under this Local Rule.<br>If the player chooses to prefer the lie of the ball, the position of the ball must be first marked. Most players will use a tee to mark the position of the ball but a coin or other similar sized object is suitable. Once the position of the ball has been marked, the player can then lift the ball and clean it if desired. The ball must then be placed on a spot no nearer the hole within six inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atantalus.com\/dunnerholme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9242\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atantalus.com\/dunnerholmeold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image.png 800w, https:\/\/atantalus.com\/dunnerholmeold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/atantalus.com\/dunnerholmeold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/atantalus.com\/dunnerholmeold\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preferred Lies &#8211; A player is entitled to prefer the lie of the ball when the ball lies on a closely-mown area through the green.
