Does the rule granting relief from casual water apply to ice and snow?
Discussion: No. The “casual water” listed in the rule is water as it’s commonly understood, i.e. in a liquid form. The rules do not grant relief from snow, ice, or even steam should you encounter it. However, the TD may grant relief from “any item or area” before the round. If, for example, there is a patch of ice on the course known to be dangerous, the TD could declare it a casual obstacle and grant the players relief from it.
