Creative Commons License photo credit: Valerie Everett   Ground under repair (GUR), is usually marked with a white line or sign.  If your ball, swing or stance, makes, or would make, contact with GUR, relief is in order.  You are entitled to take a free drop within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, and no nearer the hole.  The Rules of Golf (under definitions) state that any material on a golf course, piled for removal, can be considered GUR.  Loose clippings from a lawn mower are not considered GUR, unless piled for removal.  This USGA. rule can be a bit fuzzy at times, so consider the situation carefully before taking a drop.  Its always advised to bring your playing partners in on the decision if questionable.
