You are allowed a free drop if your ball is located someplace that is considered dangerous. Crocs, ratllesnakes and bees all count. Cactus, poison ivy, and thorn bushes do not. I don't remember the exact rule but I'd go under 1 - 2 club lengths from the nearest spot of relief no closer to the hole. With a croc, the nearest spot may be a good 20 yards away for me. Those things can move fast if they want, I believe. Golf is real fun and I like to score as low as possible, but I ani't gonna be a crocs snack just to save a stroke or ball.....
