Friend did this recently while 'looking' at the hole while practice swinging beside the ball (like Luke does), his practice wasn't straight and he clipped the ball sending it 2 feet away, he replaced and said it was an accident....which it was....but I'm sure it's still a penalty and replace?
Same scenario but what if his marker was still at the ball?
A pro told me once if you even touch the ball its a penalty, I often wonder how 'dangerous' it is when I see a pro lining up and puts the putter behind his ball very quickly, could be very expensive.
