A player has "addressed the ball" when he has taken his stance and has also supported the stick on the ground, except in a hazard where a player has addressed the ball when he has taken his stance.
) Nearest Point of Relief (Nearest Point of Relief)
The "nearest point of relief" is the reference point for relief without penalty from interference by an immovable obstruction (Rule 24-2), an abnormal ground condition (Rule 25-1) or a wrong putting green (Rule 25-3).
It is the point on the course nearest to where the ball lies:
a) that is not nearer the hole, and
b) where, if the ball was well located, there would be no interference by the condition from which relief is sought for the blow that the player would run from the original position, if the condition had not existed.
Note: To accurately determine the nearest point of relief, the player should use the stick with which he had executed his next stroke if the condition were not there, simulating the preparation of the stroke position, direction of play and swing for such coup.

"Ground under repair" is any part of the course so marked by order of the Committee or declared as such by his authorized representative. All ground and any grass, bush, tree or other growing thing within the ground under repair is part of it. It includes material piled for removal and wells made by the court charged, although not marked as such. The grass clippings and other materials left on the field must not be removed are not ground under repair, unless they had been well marked.
When the margin of ground under repair is defined by stakes, they are within the ground under repair and the margin is defined by the outer points of the stakes closer to ground level. When set by stakes and lines, the stakes identify the ground under repair and the lines define its margin. When the margin of ground under repair is defined by a line on the ground, the line itself is in the ground under repair. The margin of ground under repair extends vertically downwards, not upwards.
A ball is in ground under repair when it lies in, or any part of it touches him.
