What is the rule?

[griffgolf]

What is the rule if I am playing one hole and my ball lands and stops on a green of a different hole?

Do I play my next shot from where the ball lies on the green?

Or

Do I have to move my ball off the green and play my next shot from elsewhere and if so how is this play point determined and is there a penalty?

Its likely to get you hung from the club flagpole if you do play off the green - no it's a free drop, nearest point of relief, no nearer the hole

You MUST take a drop from an incorrect green...... free drop nearest point of relief no nearer the hole.

Must learn to type faster!!!!!!!

Nearest point that is not on the incorrect green, drop within 1(?) club length with no penalty.

As others have said. Drop at the nearest relief no closer to the pin and within 1 club length. The ball must not strike the green when dropped.

You can take your stance on the green though.

Rule 25-3

This is a good video explains what exactly the nearest point of relief is.

Had an interesting experience of this yesterday as a ball flew over one of my playing partner's head and landed in the middle of us while we were putting!
