I'm sure this has been asked before and I was only asked it today as the guys concerned earlier in the week hadn't got an answer as to whether they acted correctly
Playing foursomes (not that the format matters) the player teed off on a par 3 (18th) and hit into a greenside bunker that had a high front and , as it was the Captains charity bunker, a small sign was at the top of the bunker but inside it. The ball which normally would have dropped back down the face of the bunker was held at the top by the sign. There was no way that the could drop the ball for it to stay at the top face without the sign holding it and so they decided to pick up the ball , remove the sign and play the ball where it came to rest after a drop and it rolled down the face.
Did they act correctly?
