RE: What is the ruling on this
Dear Rules Guy: While I was playing in Florida, my drive landed close to a sunbathing alligator. I dropped along the ball's original path, without penalty. Did I correctly handle this truly dangerous lie?
-- Mark Roman, New York, N.Y.
Decision 1-4/10 gives you a pass, Mark. You can take a free drop from the nearest point of relief (a safe distance away), as long as you're no closer to the hole. Now, if your drive had landed in a hazard, the same ruling would have applied, but in that case you'd get one club length from the nearest non-danger zone in the hazard, no closer to the hole. You'd also have to stay in the hazard or drop in a similar nearby hazard, if possible. If not, you'd be allowed to take a penalty stroke to leave the hazard and escape harm's way.
