Ball on the grass face of a bunker: is it in the bunker?
Your ball lies on the grass-covered face of a bunker and does not touch any sand. Where is it?
Answer
In the general area, the grass face is not part of the bunker
A bunker is only the prepared area of sand. A lip, wall or face made of grass or soil is part of the general area. Your ball is in the bunker only when it touches sand inside the edge of the bunker.
