Hi guys,

What is the ruling for if you hit another player's ball with yours when putting?

Rules gurus will be along with exact ruling for you Gareth , off hand provided both balls were on the green.. i would say 2 shot penalty for you , play your own as it lies & replace the other ball ..

probably end up being wrong tho

this is spot on, nothing too complicated with this scenario....

.... provided you are talking about stroke play. There is no penalty in match play. See Rule 19-5a

That is interesting as i thought "all " 2 shot penalties = loss of hole in match play .. thanks Colin

Not if there is no penalty in match play in the first place.

is there a different outcome to this if you are chipping on, or say even teeing off on a par 3? i assume its tough luck to you the striker, and try to replace the original ball back?

not quite sure what you are asking Scott ?

If a player’s ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by a ball in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it lies. In match play, there is no penalty. In stroke play, there is no penalty, unless both balls lay on the putting green prior to the stroke, in which case the player incurs a penalty of two strokes. In all instances the other ball is replaced.

Is that similar to stableford?

 

[Colin L]

Yes but it is easier to hold your game together.

It's too hot for a coat, but I will leave quietly.

I think you got the gist with your answer, player A has found the green, player B then plays his chip for arguments sake and his ball hits player A's. I assume player B plays as it lies, and player A replaces his ball to where it was...
