Hole in WHAT?

Who me?   (Photo by Norbert Nagel)
It seems that there’s a rule for everything these days.  What used to be left to either ingenuity or imagination is now codified.

If you want to put a simple addition onto your home, there’s a rule for that.  If you simply want to cross the street, there’s a rule for that too.  And if an alligator grabs your golf ball with his teeth, there’s even a rule for that.

The United States Golf Association covers this “dangerous animal condition” with Rule 16, which considers that grab to warrant a free drop.  It’s the alligator’s fault, not yours, and so you’re entitled to play “a ball from a different place.”
