1. Relief from sprinkler head.
   16.1/1
   Relief from Abnormal Course Condition May Result in Better or Worse Conditions
   If a player receives better conditions affecting the stroke in taking relief under
   Rule 16.1
   , this is the player’s good fortune. There is nothing in
   Rule 16.1
   that requires them to maintain identical conditions after relief is taken.
   For example, in taking relief from a sprinkler head (immovable obstruction) in the rough, the player’s nearest point of complete relief or relief area may be located in the fairway. If this results in the player being able to drop a ball in the fairway, this is allowed.
   In some situations, the conditions may be less advantageous to the player after relief is taken as compared with the conditions before relief is taken, such as when the nearest point of complete relief or relief area is in an area of rocks.
