A Bowed Fence and the Rules of Golf

A tip for you golfers from the San Antonio Express-News:

Part of a boundary fence is bowed toward the course so that it is inside the boundary line formed by the fence posts. A player’s ball comes to rest against this part of the fence. Is the player entitled to relief?

No. A fence defining out of bounds is not an obstruction even if part of it is inside the boundary line formed by the fence posts.
