Relief From Sprinklers Near the Green

A player may take relief from an immovable obstruction (sprinkler head or valve cover) that interferes with his line of play and is located within two club lengths of a green, as follows:

If his ball is on the green, it shall be lifted and placed at the nearest point that avoids intervention with the obstruction and is no nearer the hole
if his ball is off the green and within two club lengths of the obstruction, it shall be lifted and dropped at the closest point that avoids intervention with the obstruction and is no neared the hole, and not in a hazard or on a green
