The following rules, which are not in the St. Andrews code, may be found useful: -
If a ball lodge in a rabbit hole or scrape, the player may take it out and tee it a club-length behind the hazard, losing a stroke. If, however, the hole or scrape be in a hazard, the ball may be lifted and dropped behind, but not out of the hazard, under the same penalty. If a ball lodge in a rabbit-scrape on the putting-green, it may be taken out and placed behind without any penalty.
In the event of any players causing undue delay, either in playing the game or otherwise, so that the hole in front of that to which they are playing is entirely unoccupied, the players immediately behind shall be entitled to pass such players, who shall be bound to permit this on being so required.
Balls shall not be driven or played from off any putting-green. When a ball lies on a putting-green on the way to another hole, it must be lifted and dropped beyond such putting-green, and not nearer the hole being played to, without a penalty.
