Rule 14.1b has a sanction (one penalty stroke) if the player’s caddie lifts the ball when not allowed to do so.If a rule has no sanction at all as you describe, is it a rule
Rule 9.5 adequately covers the situation and penalties for a ball lifted or moved by the opponent in match play without any need to resort to 14.1b.Presumably it’s there because there is a penalty in matchplay?
