Rules Caddie
Snap it.
Ask it.
Check it.
Ask the Caddie golf rules questions in plain English or add a photo for context. Caddie uses AI to generate responses and can make mistakes. Check its answers and rule references. Your event’s committee decides rules disputes and sets restrictions on advice.
Do I get relief?
A photo alone cannot establish whether this fence marks a boundary. Check the course markings and Local Rules; ask the committee before taking relief.
