Yes, in two situations (wheeled devices only, not canes or crutches): Situation Standard Rule With a wheeled mobility device Lateral relief from a red penalty area or for an unplayable ball Drop within 2 club-lengths Drop within 4 club-lengths Unplayable ball in a bunker, dropping back-on-the-line outside the bunker 2 penalty strokes 1 penalty stroke The other relief options (stroke and distance, back-on-the-line, and the in-bunker options) are unchanged, each for one penalty stroke.
