Situation : Tee shot landed in the deep rough (right of the cart path). Cart path left is the second cut of the fairway. The cart path interfere with my stance towards the fair/the green.

Question: where is the first point of relief ? The left of the cart path or the right side of the cart path in the rough no closer to the hole? Both sides have room for relief with no path interfering the stance after relief.

Clearly, if the first point of relief(club length) is the left side of the cart path(fairway rough). I would be improving the condition of play, which I don't feel is right.

Appreciate you answer/comments.
