Ok - Today's Question:

Casual relief rule now allows (in parenthesis) td's to "allow" more relief -
Is this for distance after 5 meters for free, or allowing them to make other things/objects casual as has been posited on this thread to cover poison ivy, cactus and other items not listed.

3 officials were unclear so we just let it be - TD wanted to allow any distance from casual water stream instead of just 5 meters based on rule, but my point is that you could grant relief back to the tee pad (or other area) for free which seems to be against spirit of the game.

How do you (point) and Mr. Brakel (counterpoint) see this rule reading?
