My ball ran through the green and came to rest in tractor tire tracks just beyond the green. I was pretty sure that I would be entitled to relief, but I had a decent lie, so I played it from where it came to rest.
Turns out that you are not entitled to relief from tire tracks. This would be covered by Rule #16.1, and the definition of ground under repair. It was not marked as GUR, The definition of GUR includes a hole made to lay pipe, a hole from removing a tree stump, but not tire ruts. Nor does it include aeration holes. Of course the committee could declare it GUR, but they did not.
I conceivably could have taken relief due to casual water, but it was really just mud. There was no standing water.
A bogey is a bogey is a bogey...
