A water hazard stake is an obstruction – see the Definition of “obstruction”. Consequently, if such a stake is movable, it may be removed, without penalty, in accordance with Rule 24-1. A player may remove a movable obstruction anywhere on the course, irrespective of whether his ball lies in a water hazard or not.
