True or False?
A player lifts her ball for identification but cannot see the markings on this ball due to mud. She is allowed to clean the entire ball for identification.
The statement is False. A player is only allowed to clean her ball to the extent necessary to identify the ball; she cannot clean the entire ball.
A ball lifted from the putting green may always be cleaned. A ball lifted from anywhere else may always be cleaned except when it is lifted
--To see if it is cut or cracked (cleaning is not allowed)
--To identify it (cleaning is allowed only as needed to identify it)
--Because it interferes with play (cleaning is not allowed)
--To see if it lies in a condition where relief is allowed (cleaning is not allowed unless player then takes relief)
