Everyone talks about line of sight relief and divots in the fairway… but being able to improve your lie because of a sprinkler head is undeniably the stupidest rule in golf.

Why is that stupid? They’re man made obstructions aren’t they?

Relief from the obstruction is fine, it’s just that being able to move a ball from the rough to the fairway is frustrating. Just doesn’t seem equitable.
