    The Longest Day - Joey Deaker and I are embarking on the ultimate test of golf. To play 72 holes in one day.

    Please show your support by donating here: https://www.longestday.org.au/fundraisers/caniborrowsomeballs

    Listener Question - What does Point of Maximum Available Relief mean? 

    The reference point for taking free relief from an abnormal course condition in a bunker (Rule 16.1c) or on the putting green (Rule 16.1d) when there is no nearest point of complete relief.

    It is the estimated point where the ball would lie that is:

    • Nearest to the ball’s original spot, but not nearer the hole than that spot,
    • In the required area of the course, and
    • Where that abnormal course condition least interferes with the stroke the player would have made from the original spot if the condition was not there.

      • Tony Finau - https://youtu.be/BfSbaC4KRXE

      Rule 16.3

      Joaquin Niemann - https://youtu.be/mxlgr4YyDq0

      Rule 18.3
      Rule 7.3
      Rule 15.1
