BUNKERS - RULE 24.1
Stones in bunkers are movable obstructions.
With bunkers situated on fairways, the grass bunker face is to be treated as fairway.

POP-UP SPRINKLER HEADS

If a ball lies near a sprinkler head or a manhole cover, and is not in a hazard, and it interferes with a player's stance, the ball may be lifted and dropped as near as possible to where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole, without penalty.
On the Green.
If a ball lies near a sprinkler head, and it interferes with a player's stance or line of putt, the ball may be lifted and placed as near as possible to where the ball lay, but no nearer the hole, without penalty.
 

PROTECTION OF YOUNG TREES RULE - 24.2b

TEES, TRENCHES & WHITE PAINT - RULE 25.1
