    USGA Quiz Question (Ref# 689)

    My answer to the question was 8 which was incorrect. Tee shot 1, S&D and wrong place 3 penalties and subsequent stroke, serious breach (rule 14.7b must correct the mistake). 3 stokes with the original ball. I cannot understand why the player had to return to the tee. What am I getting wrong...

    Lifting of ball in play

    Found it by chance. I love doing quizzes to improve my rules knowledge. https://centrallinksgolf.org/rules-officials/?fbclid=IwAR3CmRIL_GbBkAjEmllw3pvUq4F8uPStQd_evEzcHx3wSP3AcTjG-bF329E

    Lifting of ball in play

    Thanks everyone for your comments. To me it was unclear that "at rest in its own pitch mark" meant that the ball was actually "embedded" I need to read questions more closely. Happy new year to everyone :)

    Lifting of ball in play

    This question has me stumped! I answered "c" but answer given is "a" Any comments as to why A is correct? Cheers 3. In stroke play, Doug’s ball is at rest in its own pitch mark in the fringe. Without marking his ball, he lifts and cleans it, then repairs the pitch mark for the care of the...

    Penalty for Lee-Anne Pace

    I see that the referee advised LeeAnne Pace to drop the ball. Was this correct? R9.4a states replace!

    Deliberately affecting ball in motion

    I know I’m being predantic but I believe that the NTP maker does not meet the definition of a ball marker in total as the ball that it is marking will never be replaced.

    Does R11.1 exception 2 apply here with a 2SP?

    Ball moved and incorrectly dropped instead of placed

    Thanks everyone for your comments. The ball was in the GA and not in sand. So the only way for me to avoid a penalty before the stroke was to pick up the dropped ball and place it as stated above. Cheers

    Ball moved and incorrectly dropped instead of placed

    Stroke play. Searching for my ball and fellow competitors in a cart call out that they had run over it and then had dropped it next to where it was pushed into the ground. The lie was ok so I played it. I then realised what was said in that the ball was dropped and not placed. Have I incurred a...

    Ruling?

    Shouldn’t that be rule 11.1b exception 1. Drop a ball under where it first came to rest in the dog.

    When is a Wrong Green NOT a Wrong Green??

    I should have read the definition of a Putting Green which states: If a double green is used for two different holes - the entire prepared area containing both holes is treated as the putting green when playing each hole. Another lesson I learnt is to check ALL of the relevant definitions 🤪

    When is a Wrong Green NOT a Wrong Green??

    Makes sense now. Helps when you think laterally. Thank you both. This is a great forum and I have learnt lots from all the different posts and comments 😀

    When is a Wrong Green NOT a Wrong Green??

    On a recent trip I played a course that had a double green, two flags for holes 6 and 12. (No demarcation lines to differentiate the two greens) I was playing the 6th and landed way left so that the 12th flag was between me and the hole I was playing. I stated that I had to take complete relief...
