Question on Rules of Golf:

A hazard is a hazard and rules for grounding your club are the same whether it is a bunker, a water hazard or a lateral water hazard. It is o.k. to touch the tall grass or brush it during the swing as this is sometimes unavoidable. You just aren't allowed to ground your club as this could be considered testing the conditions. Basically, a bad lie and "guesswork" is your penalty for hitting it in there in the first place!
