Rules
If you have the bad luck to hit into a bunker and your ball comes to rest in a footprint or other hole in the bunker, you are not allowed to improve your lie in any way. It’s called “rub of the green” and you have to play it as it lies or you can call an unplayable lie and drop in the bunker no closer to the hole with a one stroke penalty.
Golf Witticism
“A lie is either where the ball has come to rest or where the player claims it came to rest.” Peter Gammond
