Yesterday I hit a ball that came to rest against the trunk of a tree. It looked like I had two options, either an unplayable or try to chip it out backwards. Then my playing partner pointed out that my stance was interfered by the cart path. If I tried to chip it I would have to stand with one foot on the cart path curb. Based on that I took a free drop and managed to hit out into the fairway.
Was that the correct way to score the hole? After the round I started thinking that had the cart path not interfered I probably would have taken an unplayable penalty.
