I hit a tee shot on the road on Merion #15, and it said I had an immovable obstruction, and got a free drop. They placed me hitting my second shot, all the way back on a tee. The free drop should take place next to the road.
That's right, in Rule 24-2 there's no option to repeat the shot without penalty. There's another occurrance of this issue to the right of Road Hole's green, STA#17.
I suppose that these spots are treated like lateral water where WGT, reluctant to give players choices, choses one legal option for the drop. Sometimes it's close to the spot, sometimes on the opposite side (CCC #11) and often back to the place of the genuine shot. At the two spots mentioned, it's against the rules.
It may be simplification (imagine how many drop spots must be calculated) or lazy programming(?). Anyway, it is as it is, for all players alike.
BTW, the road on STA#18 is indicated as an immovable obstruction as well but the drop is at the road. There, the mistake is that it is "integral part of the course" according to their local rules. We shold play it as it lies.
