“No, this was Bernhard Langer, a great many years ago. His golf ball was between a cart path and some bushes. It was not touching the cart path and was quite close to the bushes. In fact it was so close to the bushes that he could not take a proper stance if he played the shot his natural hand, right-handed. So, he decided to play the shot left-handed, which is his right. Or is it left? Anyway, to play the shot left-handed he would have to stand on the cart path. He argued, successfully, that as he would have to stand on the cart path he was entitled to relief. And, he got it. Once relief was taken, he now had room to hit the ball right-handed. Which he did. Remember, the rules will screw you if you let them, so know them well and you can get some shots back.  ”
