Inspired by, but not applicable to, the Paige situation (upon seeing the replay more it appears the tree was entirely behind her lie)....
If the front of a tree contacts ground in front of your lie, and the back of a tree is behind your lie - is the obstacle behind your lie in such a way that you can touch the back of the tree to establish balance on a putt inside of 10m? Or is it in front of your lie because part of it is attached in front of you? Where is the obstacle for the purposes of the rules?
