Simple question holed or not
For me it’s clearly not holed as the ball did not stay at rest below the circumference of the hole ?
This has been explicitly stated as ‘holed’ in the guidance we were given for the raised cups (“Any ball to fall below the edge of the hole, hit the safe retrieval plate and come out is to be considered holed”)... not sure if that is the case because it was part of the guidance the club was given by the authorities, or just common sense to help with speed of play/Covid avoidance etc in social golf
It is quite obviously an upturned hole liner so why is everyone making comments as though it is a normal hole?I'm with not holed on the simple basis that it is where a ball comes to rest that is important not how many and what things it hits getting there.
As others have said players would be claiming every lip out as holed.
I am fairly sure from memory there used to a decision on this based upon a toad in hole (not the sausage variety ) which jumps out of the hole after the ball lands on top of it and thereby brings the ball out with it.
What is every bodies view on that one?
Not sure I understand your question. Obviously the original point was that it would have dropped into the hole if it had been a "normal" hole. It's not. So.....do you consider that ball that went into the hole, hit the upturned cup and bounced out......a holed putt. I don't consider it made.It is quite obviously an upturned hole liner so why is everyone making comments as though it is a normal hole?
