What are the winter rules in golf?

Answer 1

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.
