Ben wel nieuwsgierig naar de gehele situatie!
INderdaad, volgens regel 13-2. Verbetering van ligging, ruimte voor voorgenomen stand of swing, of speellijn
Een speler mag niet verbeteren of verbetering toestaan van:
- • de ligplaats of de ligging van zijn bal
• de ruimte voor zijn voorgenomen stand of swing
• zijn speellijn of een redelijke verlenging van die lijn voorbij de hole, of
• de ruimte waarin hij een bal moet droppen of plaatsen
door een van de volgende handelingen:

maar: De speler krijgt echter geen straf wanneer dit gebeurt:
- bij het correct innemen van zijn stand
Decision 13-2/1 biedt hier verduidelijking op.
Q.
Rule 13-2 states that a player must not improve the position or lie of his ball, the area of his intended stance or swing or his line of play or a reasonable extension of that line beyond the hole by moving, bending or breaking anything growing or fixed (including immovable obstructions and objects defining out of bounds). An exception permits a player to do so in “fairly taking his stance”. What is the significance of “fairly”?
A.
Without 'fairly', the exception would permit improvement of position or lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play by anything that could be said to be taking a stance. The use of 'fairly' is intended to limit the player to what is reasonably necessary to take a stance for the selected stroke without unduly improving the position of the ball, his lie, area of intended stance or swing or line of play. Thus, in taking his stance for the selected stroke, the player should select the least intrusive course of action which results in the minimum improvement in the position or lie of the ball, area of intended stance or swing or line of play. The player is not entitled to a normal stance or swing. He must accommodate the situation in which the ball is found and take a stance as normal as the circumstances permit. What is fair must be determined in the light of all the circumstances.
Examples of actions which do constitute fairly taking a stance are:
•backing into a branch or young sapling if that is the only way to take a stance for the selected stroke, even if this causes the branch to move out of the way or the sapling to bend or break.
•bending a branch of a tree with the hands in order to get under the tree to play a ball.
Examples of actions which do not constitute fairly taking a stance are:
•deliberately moving, bending or breaking branches with the hands, a leg or the body to get them out of the way of the backswing or stroke.
•standing on a branch to prevent it interfering with the backswing or stroke.
•hooking one branch on another or braiding two weeds for the same purpose.
•bending with a hand a branch obscuring the ball after the stance has been taken.
•bending an interfering branch with the hands, a leg or the body in taking a stance when the stance could have been taken without bending the branch.
