I should have been more specific -- in the case of a bunker filled with water, the tournament organizer can declare the bunker ground under repair AND classify it as through the green. That way you can take a drop outside the bunker without the 1-shot penalty.
Not sure I understand.
Since both casual water and G.I.R. are both listed under the definition of "Abnormal Ground Conditions", doesn't rule 25-1 dealing with dropping outside a bunker cover both situations? If so, then you must take a penalty, even though it is G.I.R.
I see where one can take relief from casual water that is also G.I.R.; but I don't see where it applies to that situation in a bunker.
When a ball is in a bunker, the rules seem to give the player no way around taking a penalty for dropping outside that bunker.
