Bunkers Under Rebuild
Ground Under Repair
Relief when entire bunker is defined as Ground Under Repair (16.1b)
When a bunker is being repaired and the Committee defines the entire bunker as ground under repair, it is treated as part of the general area.
If your ball is in a bunker that the Committee has defined as ground under repair, you may take free relief outside the bunker by dropping a ball in this relief area:
Reference Point: The nearest point of complete relief in the general area (and outside the bunker).
Size of Relief Area measured from Reference Point: One club-length, but with these limits:
Limits on Location of Relief Area:
Must be in the general area (You can't drop on the putting green you are playing)
Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
There must be complete relief from all interference by the ground under repair
