Normally, no. Governed by Rule 25-2. You need to stay on the fairway to get relief. Local rules may provide for relief under unusual circumstances.
Is there ever free relief for a ball that is embedded in the rough?
Only if the Committee has made a Local Rule permitting relief for an embedded ball through the green, due to abnormal course conditions that warrant such relief. The relief has to specifically permit relief for an embedded ball through the green, for example, it is not sufficient for a notice to say ‘”Winter Rules in operation”.

Can a golfer take relief from an embedding ball on the fairway or the rough?
You are entitled to a free drop if the ball is plugged in the fairway or closely mown area, that is apron, fringe etc, (nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole). If the ball is plugged in the rough, there is no relief.
What are the winter rules in golf?
The winter rules of golf are very simple. Most golf courses play preferred lies through the green, this is where you can pick up your ball, clean it and replace it within six inches of its' original position, no nearer the hole. In the winter you also get relief from area which have been affected by the golf course machinery. Some golf clubs play preferred lies in the fairway and then lift clean and drop in the rough, and others only play relief from a plugged ball in the rough.
Can you drop golf ball from semi rough to green when on a sprinkler head and not dropping nearer the hole?
It depends on the nearest point of relief. On the green you would place the ball, not drop it.
Do you drop club length in rough?
No, you cannot drop club length in the rough under the Rules of Golf. When taking relief from the rough, you must follow the specific relief procedure outlined in the Rules, which typically involves determining the nearest point of relief and then dropping within one club length of that point, no closer to the hole.
What happens in golf if your ball lands in the wrong hole is it a free drop or do you incur any penalty?
You take a free drop, one club length from the nearest point of relief, which would be the edge of the green no nearer the hole.
Is it true that you can never take relief by dropping from the rough onto the fairway?
NO
Why would a car start but not rev above 2 rpm's at idle but it still runs rough and makes rough sound?
I get the gist of the question. Could be a plugged fuel filter or a plugged catalytic converter. Try the fuel filter first as it relatively cheap.

When playing golf on Sunday my ball landed on a path in which you get free relief My nearest point of relief would have put me in the middle of a large conifer tree What should happen?
b. Relief Except when the ball is in a water hazard or a lateral water hazard, a player may take relief from interference by an immovable obstruction as follows: (i) Through the Green: If the ball lies through the green, the player must lift the ball and drop it, without penalty, within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief. The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a putting green. When the ball is dropped within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of the course at a spot that avoids interference by the immovable obstruction and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.
What does it meant to say that a ball ends up in the rough?
When a ball ends up in the rough in golf, it means that the ball has landed in the thicker, taller grass that lines the fairway. This can make it more challenging for the golfer to hit the ball cleanly and control its direction. Players often need to adjust their club selection and swing technique to navigate shots from the rough effectively.
What happen when you roll a ball on a rough surface?
When you roll a ball on a rough surface, the friction between the ball and the surface will slow it down more than if it was on a smooth surface. The rough surface causes the ball to lose some of its kinetic energy as heat due to friction, resulting in a shorter overall distance traveled compared to rolling on a smooth surface.
