If a ball lies off the putting green but not in a hazard and an immovable obstruction (sprinkler) on or within two club lengths of the putting green and with in two club lengths of the ball interferes with your line of play, you may take relief within one club length no nearer to the hole.

Galleries and caddies are not permitted at any LACWGA event.
