Q.
If you take free relief from a movable obstruction, but your dropped ball comes to rest in your relief area in a position that is unplayable. Do you get to drop again for free?
.
A.
No, the dropping procedure has finished once you have correctly dropped your ball into the relief area. The fact that your ball is now unplayable is unfortunate, but means you have the option of taking an unplayable relief drop for a penalty of one stroke, or if you are in a penalty area like Rossco, then you can proceed under Rule 17.1d.
