Does this count?

[dufferman]

Maybe this is one for the rules section...?

Saw this on another website. Hole in one or...?

 

[cleanstrike]

I reckon it stopped on the edge causing someone to throw a wobbly and try to beat the ball to death with their putter. So, no, it doesn't count

 

[Spuddy]

Not holed. The ball is outside of the liner, which incidentally isn't sunk deep enough below the rim

 

[ruff-driver]

Clearly hasn't crossed the line, play it as it lies, 3 stab for bogey ,

This! You'd be gutted!

Haha! How ridiculous as it would clearly be in but for the dodgy liner placement.

Doubt it, the dodgy liner looks like its saved it bouncing out and rolling 20ft away. Thats some force its landed with!! Not holed.

As I've never had a hole in one, I'd claim it!!

 

[garyinderry]

I dont think its real. unless someone stood on the ball.

I agree.

Greenkeeper also needs to learn how to fit liners properly.

How do you play it from there though? One swift smack to get it below the liner and in the hole?

its on the green, mark it then just tap it in, but don't forget to repair the pitch mark

 

[ColchesterFC]

If you mark it, repair the pitchmark and then replace it the ball will fall into the hole. Doesn't that count?

I don't know of the rules reference, but the answer must be no.

Well that was my initial thought. But if you mark the ball and then repair the hole when you replace the ball there would be nothing below it and it would drop into the hole. Can't see how you can avoid it.

a ball is holed when it comes to rest in the bottom of the cup (read definition)

I think you have to place it in the nearest place that it will come to rest.

Still not playing yet after having a new hip.

I was up the golf club today putting and chipping and noticed all the hole liners were as in the photo they look like a one piece cup.Perhaps just for putting green.
Was this photo supposed to be on a proper golf hole,I wonder?

Which it clearly didn't. Mark it on the lip, repair the damage and then tap in.
