Steen Stumper for 2026-10-10 - Answer
A player’s ball lies in the general area underneath a large, detached tree branch that fell during a storm the previous day.  What is the ruling?
  1. The branch is ground under repair if the branch was in the process of being removed or cut up for later removal.
  2. The branch is ground under repair even if the branch was not marked as ground under repair but the greenskeeper intends to remove it.

Answer: B.  Knowing the definition of ground under repair helps get to the correct answer of this question.  The definition states that grass cutting, leaves and other material piled for later removal are, in fact, ground under repair.  Therefore, the answer must be B.
