Rule 25-2 Embedded Ball

    Hi all,

    I know there a few threads like this already so sorry.

    Regarding an embedded ball, rule 25-2 clearly states that any ball that is embedded in it's own pitch mark in a closely mown area, through the green, may be lifted, cleaned and dropped etc.

    However most people I speak to all seem to say that any ball which is embedded may be lifted, cleaned and dropped..not just in a closely mown area (i.e. in the rough)

    Local rules aside, is this the case? Or is it only if a local rule specifically says it?

    Must be a local rule regarding embedded ball in the rough last I knew.

    I had a plugged ball in the Sumer last year in my club. It was in the rough and I had to take an unplayable lie and a penalty drop. There is no local rule for it.

    Other clubs are different as far as I know.

    There is only relief from closely mown areas unless a local rules stipulates otherwise (which is stupid IMO).

    What adds confusion sometimes is that there is a hard card (local rules) for all PGA tour events and one of those is relief from an embedded ball through the green i.e. in rough also.
