A lot of macabre jokes about golf and players dying and other players playing around the body and EMTs.

I believe that a dead animal body (of a squirrel, etc.) is classified according to the rules of golf as a "loose impediment."

Players are allowed to move "loose impediments" anywhere except when both the ball and the impediment lie in a penalty area.

If the obstacle is man-made (e.g., trash blown onto the course), it is termed a "movable obstruction." Movable obstructions may be removed anywhere, even in penalty areas.

Am not sure how to categorize a dead human body, though.

Regards,
