| Hello everyone,
A player is allowed relief from an obstruction by the greenside.
By measuring his 1 club length allowance from NPoR using his driver, he gains a significant improvement in where his ball will be lying, and his line onto the green.
When dropped the ball rolls down a slope and away from the green, the player was fully aware this would happen.
He now measures using his sand wedge to establish that the ball has rolled away more than two club lengths, after repeating this process he can now place the ball.
Does anyone see any problems or Rules issues in this action. 
ATB,
SH. |

| Yes there is a problem!
Decision
20/1 Club to Be Used in Measuring
Q. A player, taking relief under a Rule, uses his driver to measure the one club-length or two club-lengths pre-scribed in the relevant Rule. He drops a ball correctly and the ball rolls less than two driver-lengths, but more than two putter-lengths, from where the ball first struck a part of the course when dropped.
Under Rule 20-2c, a dropped ball must be re-dropped if it rolls more than two club-lengths. If the ball comes to rest in a poor lie, may the player opt to use his putter to measure the distance his ball has rolled, in which case he would re-drop under Rule 20-2c and escape the poor lie?
A. No. The player must continue to use the club he originally used for measuring for all measuring in a given situation.
