Free relief
FREE DROP - NO PENALTY
Ball lies on a bare dirt/sand path or track beside the fairway, near a tree
If that sandy track is an unmaintained path or cart track, it's an immovable obstruction and you're walking away scot-free. Find your nearest point of complete relief in the general area, drop within one club-length, and enjoy a better lie than you probably deserved!
