These are immovable obstructions and relief from interference may be obtained under rule 24-2.

If the ball lies off the putting green, but not in a hazard, and is within 2 club lengths of the intervening obstruction, it may be lifted, cleaned and dropped at the nearest point to where the ball lay which a) is not nearer the hole, b) avoids such intervention and c) is not in a hazard, or on the putting green.
5. Old Hole Plugs/Capped Holes
Intervening between a ball on the green and the hole may be considered ground under repair and the ball may be lifted and placed without penalty not nearer the hole at the nearest point of relief.
6. Tees During Winter Rules
When winter tees are in use, the white and yellow tees will be deemed Ground Under Repair when not in play. Full relief from the tee surface and surrounding banks must be taken.
