Through the green a ball that is embedded in it's own pitch mark in the ground may be lifted, without penalty cleaned and dropped as near as possible to where it lay, but not nearer the hole. The ball when dropped must first strike a part of the course through the green.

Through the green:

The whole area of the course except:

a: The teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played, and

b: All hazards on the course.
