Please give advice on the following re. the rules of golf:
I putted my ball from a spot on the putting green while my playing partner attended the flag. As the ball approached the hole my playing partner had difficulty removing the pin which appeared to be jamed in the cup. The cup lifted out of the hole with the pin about 4 inches and my ball hit the cup (not the pin) and was deflected. After discussion we decided I should play the put again as close as possible from the original spot. I'm not sure this was the correct ruling. Any thoughts???
