Steen Stumper

A player's tee shot comes to rest in an area covered by a dense pile of fallen leaves in the general area. After searching for three minutes, the player is unable to find their ball. However, it is virtually certain that the ball is somewhere within the pile of leaves. How must the player proceed?

A. The player may take free relief by dropping a ball within one club-length of the nearest edge of the pile of leaves, no nearer the hole.


B. The player may drop another ball within one club-length of the estimated location of the original ball, with a one-stroke penalty.


C. The player must proceed under stroke-and-distance relief, adding one penalty stroke and playing another ball from where the previous stroke was made.


D. Because it is virtually certain the ball is in the leaves, the player may substitute another ball without penalty and place it at the estimated location of the original ball.
